Ingredients

4 servings

2 skinless boneless chicken breasts (large, halved to make four fillets)
4 flatbreads (store bought or use this recipe for homemade)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic (minced, or 2 large garlic cloves, minced)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cracked pepper
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lebanese cucumber (peeled, deseeded and grated)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
3 lebanese cucumbers (halved lengthways and sliced thick)
8 oz cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
1 g reen pepper (deseeded and sliced)
1/2 red onion (sliced thinly)
7 oz marinaded feta cheese (cubed)
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives

Steps

Whisk together all the marinade / dressing ingredients in large, shallow dish. Pour out 1/3 cup to use as the dressing; reserve in the refrigerator for later.
Add the chicken to the marinade and evenly coat; cover and allow to marinade for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
While chicken is marinading, prepare tzatziki: combine tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Toss salad ingredients together and divide between four plates. Prepare the easy garlic flatbreads, or warm store bought flatbreads on a pan over low heat until soft and warmed through. Transfer to warmed plates.
Heat a large grill pan / skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the pan. Sear until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes each side (total cook time of 10 to 12 minutes).
Remove chicken from the pan; allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thickly and arrange on salad. Slice each flatbread into four pieces and arrange on salad plates. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and serve with the tzatziki.
