For best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and high-quality Greek seasoning. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as Kalamata olives, red onion, or crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor. The tzatziki dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade or the tzatziki dressing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large glass bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, Greek seasoning, lemon juice, and garlic. Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours. (Marinating Time: 2-4 hours)
02
StepIn a small bowl, combine the tzatziki sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
04
StepRemove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess. Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and continue grilling until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register 165°F (74°C). (Cook Time: 10 minutes)
05
StepIn a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the tzatziki dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)
06
StepDivide the salad evenly among four plates or bowls. Top each portion with the grilled chicken souvlaki. Serve immediately and enjoy!
