Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for roasting)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa (optional base)
- For the Creamy Lemon Tzatziki:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
- In a bowl, mix chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes if time allows.
- Grill chicken on a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Rest and slice.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté cherry tomatoes until blistered and softened, about 5 minutes.
- To make the tzatziki, mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, zest, dill, and salt. Stir until well combined. Chill until ready to use.
- Assemble bowls with a base of rice or quinoa (if using), then top with grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, burst tomatoes, and a generous dollop of tzatziki.
Notes
- You can use sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- Tzatziki can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Add kalamata olives or crumbled feta for extra Mediterranean flavor.
