Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup cooked chicken breast, diced rotisserie works great
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% or whole milk
  • 1 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid with a clean towel until very dry.
  • Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, mint, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Fold in the chicken, dried cucumber, red onion, and feta until evenly coated.
  • Cover and chill for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve stuffed into warm pitas, over crisp greens, or with crackers and veggies.

Notes

Swap in chopped parsley for the mint, or add diced cucumber at serving time for extra crunch. For meal prep, portion into containers and refrigerate up to 3 days; add greens or pita just before eating.
