Toss chicken well to coat evenly, ensuring every piece soaks up those delicious Mediterranean flavors. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, or even longer in the fridge for maximum tenderness and taste.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt with a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper for a creamy, tangy dressing. Crumble half the feta cheese into it, mixing gently.
