Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
- Add chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers and grill over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked.
- Divide cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls.
- Top with grilled chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- You can also cook the chicken in a skillet if you don’t have a grill.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese and use a dairy-free tzatziki.
