Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Fries:

  • 1 bag frozen fries

For the Tzatziki:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated cucumber (liquid squeezed out)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Pinch of salt

Optional:

  • Feta cheese
  • Extra lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Bake fries according to package directions until golden and crispy.
  2. In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest, then slice.
  4. In a bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (well squeezed), garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Chill if time allows.
  5. Toss cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onion with a pinch of salt.
  6. Assemble plates: add fries, sliced chicken, a generous scoop of tzatziki, and fresh salad. Serve with extra lemon if desired.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated cucumber thoroughly so the tzatziki stays thick and creamy.
  • Chicken thighs will be juicier and more forgiving than breasts.
  • Store leftovers separately for best texture.
  • Fries reheat best in an oven or air fryer.
