This dish offers a harmonious blend of savory, tangy, and herbaceous flavors, complemented by contrasting textures from tender chicken, fluffy rice, crisp vegetables, and creamy tzatziki.
The marinated chicken is infused with lemon juice, oregano, garlic, and olive oil, imparting a bright, aromatic, and savory taste. Roasting the potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and creates a crispy exterior. The rice provides a neutral base. The Greek salad combines the freshness of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and olives, seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil, with the tanginess of feta cheese. Tzatziki, a cool and refreshing yogurt-based sauce, adds a creamy and tangy element, balancing the richness of the chicken and potatoes.

Marinate Time
Marinating the chicken for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allows the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
High Heat Cooking
Grilling or broiling the chicken over high heat ensures a slightly charred exterior while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
Fresh Ingredients
Using fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially for the Greek salad and tzatziki, significantly enhances the overall flavor profile.
Tzatziki Consistency
Strain the grated cucumber for the tzatziki well to remove excess water, preventing a watery sauce.
