  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F/75°C). Let rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare tzatziki: Mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber (excess water removed), olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
