Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss until evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prep the vegetables. (Pro tip: This short marinade is highly effective; the acid from the lemon juice helps tenderize the chicken quickly).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and measure out the olives. Arrange these components in separate sections on a large platter or in individual serving bowls. This "bowl bar" setup makes assembly fast and easy.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a slotted spoon, add the chicken in a single layer, reserving the excess marinade. Sautéing here means cooking quickly while stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. For optimal food safety, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Create the Pan Sauce (Optional): Once the chicken is cooked, you can pour the reserved marinade into the hot skillet. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced and heated through, then pour it back over the chicken. This extra step adds a burst of concentrated flavor.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked chicken evenly among four bowls. Artfully arrange the prepared cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and olives around the chicken. Unlike a tossed salad, this layered presentation keeps textures distinct and visually appealing.
  6. Add Final Toppings and Serve: Generously top each bowl with crumbled feta cheese and a large dollop of cool tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm for the best contrast with the cool, crisp veggies and creamy sauce.
