Ingredients
- 12 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 medium cucumber, diced
- 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
- 2 oz crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, whisk 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, half the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat; let marinate 10 minutes.
- 2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 6-7 minutes per side, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- 3
Make the tzatziki-style sauce: stir together the Greek yogurt, remaining garlic, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Thin with a splash of water if needed.
- 4
Divide the romaine, cucumber, and olives between two bowls. Top with sliced chicken and crumbled feta.
- 5
Spoon the yogurt sauce over each bowl and serve immediately.
Tips & notes
- Swap chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer leaner meat; reduce cook time to about 5 minutes per side to avoid drying out.
- For grated cucumber in the sauce, squeeze out excess water first to keep the tzatziki thick. Store components separately for up to 3 days.
- Add a handful of cherry tomatoes for color (adds roughly 1g net carb per bowl).
