Prepare the Chicken

Notes
- Marinate chicken in olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes for juicier meat.
- Use fresh, high-quality feta cheese for better flavor and texture.
- Cook quinoa or rice ahead and refrigerate to speed up meal prep.
- Make tzatziki sauce from scratch with Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill.
- For extra char, finish chicken under broiler for 1-2 minutes after skillet cooking.
