Description
This Best Greek Tzatziki Chicken Salad combines juicy chicken, fresh vegetables, and a homemade tzatziki dressing for a refreshing meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking)
1.5 tbsp olive oil (I use Bertolli extra virgin)
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
pepper
4 cups romaine lettuce
1 cup tomatoes (halved or sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 red onion (thinly sliced into half-moons)
1/2 cucumber
1/2 cup olives (I prefer Mezzetta pitted kalamata)
1/2 cup Greek dressing
2 cups tzatziki
3/4 cup feta (I like President crumbles for better texture)
2 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the chicken evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the salad by combining romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and olives in a large bowl.
- Once the chicken is done, let it cool slightly before adding it to the salad mixture.
- Drizzle the Greek dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve the salad topped with tzatziki, crumbled feta, and fresh dill.
Notes
Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite vegetables or add more protein if desired. The tzatziki can be homemade for a fresher taste.
