Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, garlic, shallots, paprika, oregano, and spices. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).

2. Roast the Chicken

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes to get crispy, charred edges.

3. Prep the Salad

Combine chopped cucumbers, avocado, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Make the Ginger Tahini Sauce

Blend tahini, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, tamari, honey, and water until smooth and pourable. Adjust water for desired consistency.

5. Assemble Your Bowl

Layer a bed of lettuce in each bowl. Add roasted chicken, cucumber-avocado mix, crumbled feta, tomatoes, onions, and peperoncini. Top with dollops of tzatziki and a drizzle of ginger tahini.

Make It Your Own

Feel free to mix and match:

Swap chicken for grilled shrimp (see our Sizzling Grilled Shrimp with Garlic Herb Butter).
Add grains like quinoa or rice for a heartier base.
Use vegan tzatziki and skip the feta for a plant-based version.

Storage Tips

Chicken can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Ginger tahini and tzatziki sauces can be prepped ahead and refrigerated in airtight containers.
