• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Roasted Baby Potatoes

• 1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cucumber, grated and thoroughly drained
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Bowl

• 3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, roasted and sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced and grilled
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add the chicken cubes and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 2: Roast the Baby Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until lightly charred and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 4: Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Mix until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5: Prepare the Vegetables

Roast the red bell pepper until tender and lightly charred, then slice into strips.

Grill the onion slices for 4–5 minutes until softened and caramelized.

Step 6: Assemble the Bowls

Divide the chopped romaine lettuce among four serving bowls.

Top with roasted baby potatoes, grilled chicken skewers, roasted red peppers, and grilled onions.

Add a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Chicken Skewer Bowl

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
• Drain the cucumber thoroughly to keep the tzatziki thick and creamy.
• Marinate the chicken longer, up to 8 hours, for even more flavor.
• Cut chicken cubes into uniform sizes for even cooking.
• Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.

Variations

Add feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and cucumber slices for extra Mediterranean flavor.

Spicy Chicken Skewers

Low-Carb Version

Whole Grain Bowl

Storage & Meal Prep

Store the chicken, potatoes, vegetables, and tzatziki separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Assemble fresh before serving for the best texture and flavor.
