Enjoy the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine with these easy-to-make Chicken Tzatziki Bowls, featuring grilled chicken, a refreshing tzatziki sauce, and a fluffy quinoa base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breast
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
  • to taste Salt & Pepper
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 medium Cucumber, grated
  • 1 cup Quinoa or Couscous
  • 1 Fresh Vegetable (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat thoroughly. Let rest while preparing other components.
  2. Cook the quinoa or couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa or couscous and a pinch of salt. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until cooked, about 15 minutes for quinoa and 5-10 minutes for couscous. Fluff with a fork when ready.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess moisture), fresh dill, and a little salt. Mix well and refrigerate to develop flavors.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Slice and arrange: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  6. Assemble your bowls: Start with a base of quinoa or couscous, top with sliced grilled chicken and a dollop of tzatziki, adding any fresh veggies on top.

Notes

These bowls store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken gently to maintain texture.
