Instructions
To make the Tzatziki sauce, mix all Tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Refrigerate until ready to use. It gets better after sitting in the fridge, as all the flavors meld. It's just perfect the next day, so you can make this one ahead.
Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it's golden brown on the outside and cooked through (internal temp should read 165F / 75C).
Once it's done, place the chicken on a plate and top it with Tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onions, and crumbled Feta cheese.
