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.

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.

4
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.

5
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.
