Preparation

  • Stir together the yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate the tzatziki until you are ready to serve.
  • Heat a 10-inch or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and marinade to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is brown and its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Whisk together the oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt in a small bowl to make the red wine vinegar dressing.
  • Divide the chicken among four individual serving bowls. Top the chicken with the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and feta cheese. Pour the red wine vinegar dressing over the bowls and top each bowl with the tzatziki just before serving.

Notes

You can buy ready-made Greek seasoning or make your own by mixing salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme or rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, and cinnamon. Cooking times do not include marinating time which can be anywhere between 10-15 minutes and overnight.
