  • Grater (for cucumber)
  • Knife + cutting board

Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Tzatziki Sauce

  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • ½ cucumber (grated & drained)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
  • Salt to taste

Fries

  • 3 large russet potatoes (cut into sticks)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (or for frying)
  • Salt to taste

Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley or mint
  • Lemon wedges
  • Tomato & cucumber salad

Instructions
 

  • Marinate Chicken: Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for 2 hours.
  • Cook Chicken: Grill or pan-sear until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Make Tzatziki: Grate cucumber, squeeze out water. Mix with yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Chill.
  • Prepare Fries: Fry twice (low then high heat) or bake at 425°F (220°C) until golden. Season immediately.
  • Assemble Plate: Arrange sliced chicken, fries, a scoop of tzatziki, and fresh salad. Garnish with herbs and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Serve immediately for best texture—crispy fries, juicy chicken, and cool tzatziki.
  • Variations: Try sweet potato fries, add chili flakes to chicken, or swap halloumi for a vegetarian version.
  • Storage: Tzatziki lasts 3–4 days refrigerated. Chicken can be stored up to 2 days. Fries are best fresh.
  • Serving Idea: Pair with pita bread and a crisp white wine or rosé for a complete Greek-inspired meal.
