Description

These Greek chicken bowls feature juicy, marinated grilled chicken served over a base of crisp veggies, creamy tzatziki, and feta cheese—all while keeping it low in carbs!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Greek Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl Base:

  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce (or mixed greens)
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 small avocado, sliced

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

 

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
    • Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/75°C).
    • Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. Make the Tzatziki Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and olive oil.
    • Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Divide lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives into bowls.
    • Add sliced chicken on top.
    • Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with feta cheese.
    • Add avocado slices and serve with a lemon wedge.

Notes

  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free yogurt and skip the feta.
  • Low-Carb Swap: Serve over cauliflower rice instead of lettuce for extra heartiness.
  • Extra Flavor Boost: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or tahini sauce!
