Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 batch tzatziki sauce
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 english cucumber, sliced
- ½ cup red onion, sliced thin
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup kalamata olives
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Tzatziki sauce and chill it in the fridge to let the flavors meld while preparing the chicken.
- In a mixing cup, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, dried dill, dijon mustard, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk to mix well.
- Transfer the marinade into a food storage bag along with the chicken breasts. Seal the bag and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for several minutes on each side until reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
- While the chicken cooks, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and prepare other veggies.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- In serving bowls, layer cauliflower rice or lettuce as the base, then add sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, and pepperoncini sections.
- Top with cucumber, kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Finish with a dollop of tzatziki in the center before serving.
Notes
Marinating the chicken for at least 1 hour enhances flavor.
Feel free to substitute cauliflower rice with lettuce for a lighter option.
Adjust the vegetables to your taste preference.
