  • 1 TBSP fresh or dried dill

  • 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • 1 cucumber peeled and grated, squeeze as much juice out of the cucumber as possible with a cheesecloth or a paper towel

Instructions
 

  • Place all chicken, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, greek yogurt (optional), oregano, salt and black pepper in a freezer gallon-size ziploc bag or container. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • When at least 30 minutes is up and you are ready, start your couscous (or quinoa) using packaged instructions.
  • While couscous (or quinoa) is cooking .start your lemon chicken by preheating the grill to medium heat and grease the grill with oil and a brush to prevent from sticking.
  • Place chicken on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of the chicken) or until the middle is white and reaches at least 165 degrees
  • Remove chicken from the grill and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Cut into slices.
  • Tzatziki sauce: place all ingredients together except the grated cucumber. If you have not already grate and squeeze the cucumber to remove water before adding to the rest of ingredients.
  • Greek Chicken Bowls: Place couscous (or quinoa) at the bottom of a bowl, sliced chicken on top, with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives and drizzle with homemade tzatziki. If you would like add a pinch of salt and a tad of fresh lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve immediately!
