Ingredients
For the chicken and marinade
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts the main protein source
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil adds richness and helps in browning
- 1 tablespoon Dried oregano the classic herb of Greek cuisine
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt for creamy tzatziki
- 1 medium Cucumber, grated to bring a fresh crunch
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced for bold flavor
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice to brighten the dish
For assembly
- Vegetables (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion) as colorful toppings
- Quinoa or rice for serving as a hearty base
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak up all that flavor.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Tzatziki Preparation
- While the chicken is cooking, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
Assembly
- Slice the cooked chicken and serve over a bed of quinoa or rice.
- Top with diced vegetables and a generous dollop of tzatziki.
Garnish
- Finish with a sprinkle of extra oregano if desired.
Notes
This dish is great for leftovers. Store any extra chicken and tzatziki in airtight containers for up to three days. For a lighter option, grill the chicken and veggies.
