Ingredients

  • 12 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup red onion(optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill(optional)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep (15 minutes): Finely chop the cucumber and cherry tomatoes (and red onion if using). Pat the cucumber dry. Mince 1 clove of garlic.

  2. 2

    Make tzatziki (15 minutes prep overlap): In a bowl, stir Greek yogurt with minced garlic, grated/chopped cucumber, lemon juice (about 1 tbsp), a pinch of salt, and dill (if using). Set aside.

  3. 3

    Season and grill (15 minutes cook): Slice chicken into cutlets (for faster cooking). Toss with olive oil, remaining lemon juice, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high and cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble (within the cook window): Divide chopped cucumber-tomato salad between bowls. Slice chicken and place on top. Spoon tzatziki over the bowls and serve.
