For the Bowl Assembly

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Fries
  1. Bake or air-fry the French fries until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Make the Tzatziki
  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt. Drain the cucumber well to keep the sauce creamy.
Assemble the Bowl
  1. In a large bowl, arrange grilled chicken, crispy fries, diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and red onion. Drizzle with tzatziki and garnish with fresh dill.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. For freezing, store the assembled bowl without tzatziki for up to two months.
