# How to Make It:

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water, then cook according to package directions until fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Grate cucumber and sprinkle with salt. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the cucumber with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste and chill until ready to serve.

In a bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper. Add diced chicken fillet and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Divide cooked quinoa between serving bowls. Arrange chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives on top. Scatter with shredded feta, add a generous scoop of tzatziki, drizzle with olive oil, and finish with fresh herbs.
# Extra Tips:

Marinate the chicken for up to 12 hours in advance for enhanced flavor.

Allow tzatziki to chill well before serving for best texture and taste.
