Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 breasts chicken, diced a lean protein that becomes juicy and tender when sautéed.
  • Salt enhances the natural flavors of the chicken.
  • Pepper adds a touch of warmth and spice to the dish.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick and to enrich the flavor.

For the Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt creates a creamy base, adding a healthy dose of protein.
  • 1 cucumber grated adds crunch and freshness that elevates the tzatziki.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced infuses the sauce with a zesty kick that pairs beautifully with chicken.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice brightens the sauce and balances the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill brings a distinctive herbaceous note, essential for authentic tzatziki.
  • Salt to taste adjust this to your preference for maximum flavor.
  • Pepper to taste personalize the spice level to suit your palate.

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. This step is crucial to ensure your chicken cooks evenly and develops a lovely golden-brown crust.
  • Gently place the diced chicken in the skillet. Season it generously with salt and pepper, making sure every piece is well-coated to enhance the flavor as it cooks.
  • Allow the chicken to cook for about 8-10 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure every piece is beautifully browned and no one gets left out of the deliciousness.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix them well until your tzatziki sauce is smooth and creamy, bursting with flavor.
  • Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, serve it hot with the tzatziki sauce on the side. This presentation not only looks beautiful but invites everyone to dive into the fresh, tangy goodness.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with extra dill for an added touch of freshness.
