Instructions
- Combine the chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Greek seasoning, and sea salt in a sealable container. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to overnight for an extra burst of flavor.
- Stir together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, grated garlic, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, minced dill, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl to prepare the tzatziki. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until beautifully browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced oregano, and salt in a small bowl to prepare the dressing.
- Divide the cooked chicken among four bowls. Top with diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Pour the dressing over the bowls and add a dollop of tzatziki just before serving.
