Ingredients

Essential for the tzatziki, it gives the sauce its creamy base while adding tang and probiotics.

Used in the tzatziki and for crunch in the bowl, it adds freshness and crispness.

Garlic
Brings depth to the marinade and bold flavor to the tzatziki.

Lemon Juice
Brightens the chicken and tzatziki with acidity, making the dish vibrant and light.

Fresh Dill
Adds that unmistakable herbaceous flavor to the tzatziki.

Olive Oil
Used to marinate the chicken and roast the fries, it brings richness and helps everything cook beautifully.

Sweet Potatoes
Naturally sweet and perfect when crisped in the oven; they round out the bowl with a satisfying crunch.

Cherry Tomatoes
Juicy bursts of acidity that balance the creaminess and sweetness.

Red Onion
Adds bite and brightness to the overall flavor profile.

Feta Cheese
Crumbly, tangy, and salty—a bold topping that brings the whole bowl together.

The bed for your bowl; they bring in fiber, color, and a light, earthy tone.

Salt and Pepper
Simple seasonings that elevate every component.

How to Make the Grilled Chicken Power Bowl with Tzatziki and Sweet Potato Fries

Step 1: Marinate and Grill the Chicken
Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to make cutlets. Marinate them in olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill for at least 30 minutes. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through and golden on both sides. Let rest before slicing.

Step 2: Make the Tzatziki Sauce
Grate cucumber, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Chill while you prepare the other elements.

Step 3: Bake the Sweet Potato Fries
Cut sweet potatoes into fries or wedges. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

Step 4: Prep the Bowl Toppings
Halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, and wash and dry your greens. Crumble the feta.

Step 5: Assemble the Power Bowls
Start with a generous handful of greens. Top with grilled chicken slices, sweet potato fries, tomatoes, onion, and crumbled feta. Finish with a big dollop of tzatziki in the center. Drizzle with olive oil or lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

This Grilled Chicken Power Bowl with Tzatziki and Sweet Potato Fries is flexible and friendly to swaps. If you’re going meat-free, grilled tofu or chickpeas tossed in smoked paprika and olive oil make excellent substitutes. Quinoa or brown rice can replace the greens for a heartier base. No sweet potatoes? Regular potatoes or even roasted carrots can stand in just fine. You can switch feta for goat cheese or leave it out entirely for a dairy-free version. Not a fan of dill? Try fresh mint or parsley in the tzatziki for a different herby twist.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

This bowl is a complete meal on its own, but I love serving it alongside warm pita or flatbread to scoop up the extras. It also goes well with a citrusy sparkling water or a chilled glass of white wine, especially something crisp like Sauvignon Blanc. For gatherings, you can serve it deconstructed with toppings in bowls so guests can build their own. Add olives or hummus on the side for a Mediterranean platter feel.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store each component separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The chicken and sweet potatoes keep well for up to 4 days. Tzatziki is best used within 3 days for optimal freshness. Reheat the chicken and fries in a 375°F oven for about 10 minutes to maintain their texture. Avoid microwaving the tzatziki or greens—assemble fresh when ready to eat.
