Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup diced Persian cucumbers
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ cup pitted kalamata olives
4 warm pita rounds or 2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp chopped fresh dill


Instructions

Dice the cucumbers into small, even cubes and halve the cherry tomatoes, placing them in a large mixing bowl. While prepping the vegetables, combine the garlic powder, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt in a small dish to streamline the seasoning process.
Rub the dry spice blend evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for exactly 2 minutes until shimmering. Add the chicken and sear for 6–7 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken sizzles in the skillet, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a separate bowl. Continue whisking until the sauce becomes slightly thick, smooth, and glossy.
Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and transfer it to a clean plate. Let it rest undisturbed for 5 minutes to lock in moisture.
Assemble each bowl with warm pita rounds or cooked quinoa, fresh vegetables, sliced chicken, kalamata olives, and a generous drizzle of the garlic yogurt sauce. Garnish with any remaining herbs if desired.

Notes

For a vegan option, use tofu instead of chicken and substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy alternative.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The garlic yogurt sauce can be made ahead for convenience.
Customize the bowl with additional toppings such as feta cheese, avocado, or fresh mint.
