Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
8 cups romaine lettuce, roughly chopped
1 English cucumber, diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup kalamata olives (pitted), halved
4 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 cup store-bought or homemade tzatziki
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1

In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Add 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight).
2

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side until nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
3

Divide 8 cups roughly chopped romaine lettuce among 4 bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, 1 diced English cucumber, 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup halved kalamata olives (pitted), 1/2 thinly sliced red onion, and 4 oz crumbled feta cheese.
4

Drizzle each bowl with 1 cup store-bought or homemade tzatziki and serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Greek Chicken Bowls dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 4 oz crumbled feta cheese. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Greek Chicken Bowls keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the char.

Can I halve or double Greek Chicken Bowls?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
