Delicious greek chicken bowls: a flavor-packed mediterranean favorite made easy recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs: 1.5 pounds
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice: 3 tablespoons
  • Dried oregano: 2 teaspoons
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Greek yogurt: 1 cup
  • Cucumber: 1, diced
  • Cherry tomatoes: 1 pint, halved

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and minced garlic. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard the marinade) and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice or shred.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Greek yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked chicken, diced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly among bowls.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle with Greek yogurt sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days to prevent sogginess.
  • For best flavor, gently reheat the chicken in a skillet with a touch of olive oil until warmed through.
  • Garnish your bowls with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley for an extra pop of freshness and color.
  • Don't skip the marinating time; it's key for tender, flavorful chicken and a delicious final result.
