Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt, full-fat
  • 1/2 cucumber grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped (or parsley)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 8 small soft flour tortillas (or corn for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups (60g) fresh spinach or arugula

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss to coat, and let marinate for 20 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
  2. Make the Tzatziki: Grate cucumber, squeeze out excess water, and mix with yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook chicken slices for 34 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Slice into strips.
  4. Prep the Toppings: While the chicken cooks, prepare tomatoes, onion, feta, and greens.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Heat in a skillet for 20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 10 seconds.
  6. Assemble the Tacos: Spread tzatziki on each tortilla, layer with chicken, and top with veggies, feta, and greens. Drizzle extra tzatziki if desired.
