Ingredients

Chicken breasts (2)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
Greek yogurt (1 cup)
Cucumber (1, finely diced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Red onion (1 small, finely chopped)
Kalamata olives (1/2 cup, pitted)
Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Mixed greens or salad greens (4 cups)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until the juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through. Allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Prepare the tzatziki dressing by combining Greek yogurt, finely diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are well-distributed.
In a large salad bowl, combine the grilled chicken strips with mixed greens or your choice of salad greens.
Pour the tzatziki dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Greek Tzatziki Chicken Salad chilled. Enjoy the refreshing taste of Greece in your own home!
