Cook Chicken

  1. Cook chicken in an air fryer or skillet, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare Tzatziki

  1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and dill.

  2. Add sliced chicken, followed by diced veggies, olives, and feta.
  3. Finish with a generous spoonful of tzatziki and garnish with lemon and dill.
