Savor Chicken Tzatziki Bowls for a light lunch Enjoy this refreshing dish packed with flavor and healthy ingredients Perfect for any meal
Ingredients
Scale
2 pieces (about 1 pound) of boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup of Greek yogurt
1 medium cucumber
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of dried dill
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of cooked quinoa or brown rice
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they're well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), minced garlic, dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Layer on the sliced chicken, then generously top with tzatziki sauce. Add any remaining cucumber and garnish with fresh dill or mint for extra zest.

Packed with zesty flavors and wholesome ingredients, this Refreshing Chicken Tzatziki Bowl is perfect for a light lunch.
