Instructions

Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, paprika, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
Add the diced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated.
Prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill or parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 8–10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Divide cooked orzo or brown rice among serving bowls.
Spoon chicken over each bowl and top with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
Finish with tzatziki and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Marinating chicken for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor. Avoid excess moisture in tzatziki by draining cucumber well.
