  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 medium English cucumber
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Allow to rest before slicing.
  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess moisture), lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to create the tzatziki sauce.
  3. Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and combine with diced cucumber in a large bowl.
  4. Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Finish by drizzling olive oil on top before serving chilled or at room temperature.
