Description

These Greek Chicken Tzatziki Bowls are fresh, flavorful, and easy to throw together. Juicy grilled chicken is paired with herby rice, homemade tzatziki, and crisp veggies for a healthy Mediterranean-inspired meal you’ll want to make on repeat!

Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the tzatziki sauce:

 

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint

  • Salt, to taste

  • For the bowls:

    • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)

    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

    • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced

    • 1 cucumber, chopped

    • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

    • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

    • Optional: hummus, pita wedges, or lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.

  2. Cook the chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. Make the tzatziki: Combine all tzatziki ingredients in a bowl. Stir until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide rice among serving bowls. Top with chicken, tomatoes, onion, olives, cucumber, and feta.

  5. Top it off: Spoon tzatziki on top and garnish with fresh herbs. Add hummus, pita, or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • You can swap rice for quinoa or mixed greens for a lighter bowl.

  • Use store-bought tzatziki to save time, but homemade adds the best flavor.

  • Perfect for meal prep—just keep the sauce separate until serving.
