Tzatziki Chicken Salad

Healthy Fact of the Day

Greek yogurt provides probiotics for digestive health and more protein than regular yogurt. Cucumbers are hydrating and low in calories while adding refreshing crunch and vitamins K and C.

This Tzatziki Chicken Salad brings the fresh, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to your table with perfectly grilled chicken and a cool, creamy tzatziki sauce made from scratch. The combination of tender, herb-seasoned chicken with crisp greens and that refreshing cucumber-dill yogurt sauce creates a light yet satisfying meal that’s perfect for warm days or when you’re craving something fresh and healthy.

If you love these bright Mediterranean flavors, you’ll also enjoy our Mediterranean Steak Bowl with its similar fresh herbs and vibrant presentation. For another Greek-inspired dish that brings bold flavors to your table, try our Baked Feta Potatoes. They capture that same Mediterranean spirit with creamy feta and fresh herbs that complement this refreshing salad beautifully.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound chicken breast

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1 lemon, juiced

    • 1 cup Greek yogurt

    • 0.5 cup cucumber, finely diced

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
