Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tzatziki:

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or mint, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup cooked rice, quinoa, or couscous (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • ½ cup mozzarella pearls
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Prepare tzatziki: Mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let it rest, then slice.
  4. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and mozzarella pearls. Toss with olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
  5. Assemble bowls with a base of rice or grains (optional), salad, sliced chicken, a scoop of tzatziki, and fresh herbs on top.

Notes

  • Use store-bought tzatziki to save time.
  • Feta or fresh mozzarella chunks can substitute for mozzarella pearls.
  • Swap grains for lettuce to make it a low-carb bowl.
  • Replace chicken with chickpeas, tofu, or shrimp for variety.
