Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped (grilled or rotisserie)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
1/2 cucumber, finely diced or grated (excess moisture removed)
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: olive oil drizzle, crumbled feta, chopped kalamata olives
Instructions
Prepare the Tzatziki Dressing: In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add Chicken and Veggies: Stir in the chopped chicken and diced red onion until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill and Serve: For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled, garnished with extra dill or a drizzle of olive oil.
Enjoy: Scoop onto lettuce leaves, serve in pita pockets, or enjoy on its own with lemon wedges on the side.
