01
Step 1
Start by mixing together the olive oil, Greek seasoning, lemon juice, and garlic in a glass bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss them around to coat well. Pop the bowl in the fridge and let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours, but no more than 4.

Step 2
While the chicken marinates, whisk together the tzatziki, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Keep this dressing chilled until you’re ready to use it.

Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your outdoor grill to high and give the grates a light brush of oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 165°F (74°C).

Step 4
Meanwhile, toss together the romaine, bell pepper, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle the salad with the tzatziki dressing and give everything a good toss to coat.

Step 5
