Mediterranean Chicken Bowls

A vibrant and flavorful Mediterranean Chicken Bowl that’s quick to prepare and packed with delicious ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 2 pieces pita bread

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended. Place the chicken breasts in this mixture, letting them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on it and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side.
  3. Prep the Vegetables: While your chicken is grilling, dice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and slice the red onion.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. In your bowls, start with a base of shredded lettuce, and then layer on the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and sliced chicken.
  5. Top It Off: Add a generous dollop of tzatziki on top of each bowl and arrange the pita bread around the bowl.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls with extra lemon wedges on the side.
