Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber, grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cups lettuce or spinach
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best flavor).
  2. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F).
  4. Slice cooked chicken into strips. Layer lettuce or spinach in bowls followed by sliced tomatoes, red onion rings, and chicken strips.
  5. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over each bowl and serve with warm pita bread on the side.
