Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (or mixed greens for low-carb)
  • fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer.
  3. Cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through to 165°F. Remove from heat.
  4. While chicken cooks, dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, and slice red onion.
  5. Divide rice or greens among bowls. Top with chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
  6. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For meal prep, store each component separately and assemble just before eating for the best texture. Remove tomato seeds to prevent sogginess. Chicken can be grilled instead of pan-seared for extra smoky flavor. To make dairy-free, use dairy-free tzatziki and omit the feta cheese.
