    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all marinade ingredients and chicken in large gallon-size Ziploc bag or bowl. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
  2. To grill chicken: Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill. Cook for approximately 5 - 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into slices. 
  3. To saute chicken: heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. Let rest for 5 minutes and then cut into slices. 
  4. To make tzatziki sauce: stir together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, dill, and garlic. Stir in grated cucumber and taste for seasonings. Squeeze the cucumber to remove excess water before adding to rest of ingredients.
  5. To make Greek yogurt bowls: place sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
