Red Wine Vinegar Dressing
To make the chicken, combine the chicken, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, Greek seasoning, and salt in a sealable container. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
To make the tzatziki, stir together the yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Refrigerate the tzatziki until you are ready to serve.
Heat a 10-inch (25-cm) or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and marinade to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is brown and its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
To make the red wine vinegar dressing, whisk together the oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt in a small bowl.
To assemble the bowls, divide the chicken among four individual serving bowls. Top the chicken with the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and feta cheese. Pour the red wine vinegar dressing over the bowls and top each bowl with the tzatziki just before serving.
You can buy ready-made Greek seasoning like this or this one. You can also make your own by mixing salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme or rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, and cinnamon.
Cooking times above don't include the time for marinating the chicken which can be anywhere between 10-15 minutes and overnight. The longer you leave it, the more flavour it will have.
