Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, marinated

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breasts in your choice of marinade for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and refrigerate.
- Cook the marinated chicken on a grill or skillet until fully cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
