Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

2 large cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 dish tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup mixed greens

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and oregano. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

While chicken is cooking, brush red onion slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill onion slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach desired level of caramelization.

Assemble bowls by placing grilled chicken on top of a bed of mixed greens. Add grilled red onion, cherry tomatoes, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top (if using). Serve immediately.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Store tzatziki sauce in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Storage & Reheating

Once you’ve devoured your delicious Greek Chicken Bowls, you can store the leftover chicken, onion, and tzatziki sauce in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to reheat, simply pop the chicken in the microwave or oven until it reaches your desired temperature, and serve with a dollop of remaining tzatziki sauce.
