  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure each piece of chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other components, or longer for deeper flavor.

  2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned with some slightly crispy edges. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. While the chicken is cooking or resting, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of water, whisking continuously, until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Adjust lemon juice and salt to your preference.

  4. Divide the chopped romaine lettuce or baby spinach among your serving bowls. Top each bed of greens with the cooked Greek chicken.

  5. Artfully arrange the chopped cucumber, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes (if using) over the chicken.

  6. Generously drizzle the prepared lemon-tahini dressing over each bowl. Serve immediately for a burst of fresh, healthy flavor.

Notes

Store components separately for optimal freshness. Chicken lasts 3-4 days, vegetables 3-4 days, feta in original packaging, dressing up to a week. Reheat chicken gently. Avoid reheating assembled bowls.
