- 3 tbsp olive oil

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer.
- Cook chicken for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through to 165°F. Remove from heat.

- Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For meal prep, store each component separately and assemble just before eating for the best texture. Remove tomato seeds to prevent sogginess. Chicken can be grilled instead of pan-seared for extra smoky flavor. To make dairy-free, use dairy-free tzatziki and omit the feta cheese.
