Instructions
- In a sealable container, combine chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Greek seasoning, and salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and marinade. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and salt to make the dressing.
- Divide cooked chicken into four bowls. Top with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta.
- Drizzle with dressing and add a generous spoonful of tzatziki before serving.
