Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces, 0.5 cups Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp oregano, 2 tsp paprika, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Mix well to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated, then cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers if available.

4. 4

   Dice the potatoes into small cubes and place them in a bowl.

5. 5

   Season the potatoes with 2 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp pepper, and a few sprays of olive oil spray. Toss to coat.

6. 6

   Place the potatoes in the air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.

7. 7

   Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and finish with 1 tbsp of lemon juice.

8. 8

   Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature is safe and the outside is lightly charred.

9. 9

   Prepare the Greek salad by chopping the large cucumber, 2 medium tomatoes, 0.5 red onion, and 2 tbsp parsley.

10. 10

    Add the chopped vegetables to a bowl with 1 tbsp lemon juice and a small pinch of salt, then mix well.

11. 11

    For the tzatziki, grate 0.5 cucumber and squeeze out as much water as possible using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

12. 12

    In a separate bowl, combine the squeezed cucumber with 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, 2 grated garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, a pinch of dill, 0.5 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until smooth.

13. 13

    Assemble the bowls by dividing the potatoes, chicken, salad, and tzatziki evenly into 4 bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake the chicken and potatoes in a conventional oven, though times may vary. For the tzatziki, ensure the cucumber is very dry to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
