How to Make Irresistibly Flavorful Greek Chicken Tzatziki Bowls

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for marinating)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp salt (to taste)
• 1/2 tsp pepper (to taste)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 medium cucumber (grated)
• 2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

• 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

How to Serve Irresistibly Flavorful Greek Chicken Tzatziki Bowls

How to Store Irresistibly Flavorful Greek Chicken Tzatziki Bowls

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The chicken and tzatziki can be kept for up to 3 days. If keeping them together, the tzatziki may become watery, so it’s best to store them separately if you plan to eat them later.
