Ingredients
Chicken:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into very thin strips
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- black pepper to taste
Peppers:
- 2-3 bell peppers, sliced
- Olive oil (for tossing)
- Salt (to taste)
Tzatziki:
- 3/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess water)
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small clove garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pepper to taste
Other:
- 1 diced cucumber
- 1/2 diced red onion
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 6 pieces of flatbread (pita, naan, or socca)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the chicken and peppers.
- Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced chicken breast strips with grated garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, curry powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Make Tzatziki Sauce: While the chicken marinates, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, dried dill, kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside and refrigerate.
- Prepare Peppers: Arrange the sliced bell peppers on a sheet pan and toss them with olive oil and salt to coat evenly.
- Roast Chicken and Peppers: Place the marinated chicken pieces on a separate sheet pan. Roast both the chicken and peppers in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the peppers are nicely browned and tender.
- Assemble and Serve: Lay out the roasted chicken, peppers, tzatziki sauce, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and flatbreads on a large platter or sheet pan. Let everyone build their own pitas, bowls, or salads with the fresh and savory ingredients for a fun and delicious meal experience.
Notes
- For best results, use very thinly sliced chicken breasts to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Squeezing the grated cucumber in the tzatziki prevents the sauce from becoming watery.
- You can adjust the lemon juice and garlic amounts in the tzatziki to your taste preference.
- Flatbreads such as pita, naan, or socca work equally well; warm them slightly before serving if preferred.
- This recipe is easily customizable—add fresh herbs like parsley or mint for extra brightness.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
