Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh cucumber, diced
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Red onion, sliced
- Mixed greens or romaine lettuce
- Pita bread or flatbread (optional)
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken evenly with the spice mixture. Cook the chicken in a skillet, oven, or air fryer until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes in a skillet or 12-15 minutes in an oven at 400°F.
- For the sauce, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Divide the mixed greens or romaine lettuce between bowls. Top with cooked chicken, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and herbs. Drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce. Serve with warm pita or flatbread if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Keep fresh vegetables separate until serving for maximum crispness.
- Assemble the bowls just before eating to maintain freshness.
