Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 head romaine lettuce chopped
2 cups kale chopped
1 cucumber diced
1/4 red onion thinly sliced
1/3 cup kalamata olives
1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled
Lemon wedges for garnish
Fresh dill for garnish
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber grated and drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes or overnight.
2. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
3. Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed), lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt. Chill tzatziki sauce until ready to use.
4. In a large bowl, combine romaine, kale, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
5. Divide salad into bowls. Top with grilled chicken and a generous scoop of tzatziki.
6. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges. Serve immediately or refrigerate components separately for meal prep.
Notes
For juicier chicken, allow it to rest for 5 minutes after grilling before slicing.
Always squeeze excess liquid from grated cucumber for creamy tzatziki.
Store salad components separately if prepping ahead to maintain crispness.
