Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

1 lb chicken breast (2 boneless, skinless breasts, sliced lengthwise into 4 cutlets)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ tsp dried oregano leaves
½ tsp fine sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder

Vegetables & Toppings

2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved, or chopped heirloom tomatoes)
½ English cucumber (or 2 garden cucumbers, sliced)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 avocado (chopped)
¼ cup red onion (thinly sliced)
½ cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
6 oz feta cheese (about 1 cup diced)

Additional Ingredients

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or added to taste, divided)
1 lemon (cut into wedges to serve)
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (added to taste)
1 cup tzatziki sauce (or more to taste, divided)
4 pieces pita bread (cut into wedges, divided; see gluten-free variations)

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Make the tzatziki sauce first (if homemade), then slice and chop all the vegetables and toppings—tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, red onion, and olives—putting them aside for assembly.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cutlets in a large zip-top bag, add olive oil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Seal and shake until the chicken is fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
Cook the Greek Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill or sauté the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes; then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped chicken and all the prepared vegetables—tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, red onion, olives—and the diced feta cheese evenly into four large, shallow bowls.
Serve: Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, squeeze lemon wedges over each bowl, and season with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Top each bowl with tzatziki sauce, toss gently to combine, and serve with pita bread wedges on the side.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely to 165°F.
For gluten-free option, substitute pita bread with gluten-free bread or serve without bread.
Tzatziki sauce can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
Letting the chicken rest after cooking helps it stay juicy and tender.
Adjust seasoning and tzatziki quantity based on personal taste preferences.
