Preparation
Step 1
Make the tzatziki sauce then slice and chop the rest of your bowl veggies and toppings.
Step 2
Marinate the Chicken – In a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken cutlets with olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 3
Cook the Greek Chicken – Preheat the grill or skillet to medium heat. Grill or sauté the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part of the chicken. Transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Assemble the Bowls – Divide the salad ingredients into 4 large shallow bowls: chopped chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
Step 5
To Serve – Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, squeeze a lemon wedge over your bowls, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with tzatziki sauce, toss gently to combine and serve with pita bread wedges.

Chef's notes
You can cook the chicken right away, but for the best flavor, marinate for 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Protein:
Swap out the chicken for Pan Seared Steak, Grilled Steak, or Grilled Shrimp.
Gluten Free:
To make a gluten-free bowl, cooked White Rice, Quinoa, or Cauliflower Rice are great options to bulk up the bowls without using pita bread.
Vegetables:
Add your favorite raw vegetables, just about anything works with the mild flavor of tzatziki sauce. Try chickpeas, radishes, artichoke hearts, carrots julienne, white onion, broccoli, or spinach.
Hummus:
A great way to add protein, fiber, and healthy fats to your meal.
Fresh Herbs:
Scallions and dill both offer fresh flavors when sprinkled on top of these bowls.
