Cooking Steps

Marinate the Chicken: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and spices in a bowl to create a marinade. Cut chicken into pieces and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest before slicing.
Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, and grated cucumber. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble Bowls: Start with a base of mixed greens, layer sliced chicken, drizzle with tzatziki, and add diced tomatoes and cucumber. Serve with warm pita bread.
