Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
3. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out the liquid. Combine with Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to make tzatziki. Refrigerate.
4. Chop romaine and arrange in bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
5. Add sliced grilled chicken and spoon tzatziki over the top. Serve with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
Notes
Always drain the cucumber well for a thicker tzatziki.
Don’t overcook the chicken; rest it before slicing to keep it juicy.
Use boneless thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
