Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 4 whole pita bread or 2 cups cooked rice/quinoa
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by combining olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
- Divide cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- Drizzle with tzatziki sauce or serve on the side for extra flavor.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or dill before serving.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Use fresh vegetables for the best taste and texture.
- Keep the tzatziki separate if storing leftovers to prevent sogginess.
- Feel free to customize with additional toppings like feta, olives, or roasted peppers.
