For the tzatziki sauce, in a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (ensure it's well-squeezed to remove excess water), minced garlic, fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
