Equipment

Ingredients
  

Greek Chicken

  • 1 lb. chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes (455 g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (see notes below)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 8 oz. Greek yoghurt, plain, full-fat (224 g)
  • ½ medium Persian cucumber, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 medium lemon, zested
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
  • sea salt as needed
  • black pepper as needed

Red Wine Vinegar Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (45 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced
  • sea salt to taste

Salad Toppings

  • 1 large Persian cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine the chicken, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, Greek seasoning, and salt in a sealable container. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Stir together the yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat a 10-inch (25-cm) or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and marinade to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is brown and its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Whisk together the oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt in a small bowl to make the red wine vinegar dressing.
  • Divide the chicken among four individual serving bowls. Top with the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and feta cheese. Pour the dressing over the bowls and top each with tzatziki just before serving.

Notes

You can buy ready-made Greek seasoning or make your own by mixing salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme or rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, and cinnamon. Cooking times don't include marinating time, which can range from 10-15 minutes to overnight for more flavor.
