  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Mix olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare tzatziki: Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well.
  4. Assemble bowls: Place your choice of rice or grain in each bowl. Top with sliced chicken and garnish with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, red onions, olives, and tzatziki sauce.
