This dish captures the essence of a classic Greek combination plate—integrating flavors of chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, and tzatziki—while being streamlined for home cook accessibility. Boneless chicken thighs are coated in a herbed, garlic-forward yogurt marinade, then seared to yield a tender interior and a crisp, golden-brown exterior.

Reserved yogurt is used to dress cucumbers and tomatoes, which have been salted and drained to amplify their fresh, vibrant taste. Feta cheese and olives add briny depth to the creamy, textural salad. For personalization, feel free to incorporate additional components characteristic of Greek salad or tzatziki, such as romaine lettuce, bell peppers, mint, dill, toasted walnuts, or thinly sliced red onion.

Serve with lemon potatoes or toasted pita bread.
