💙 Texas Girl Tip

For even more flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking. The lemon and oregano make a huge difference, and leftovers are just as delicious the next day!

This makes a great meal-prep lunch because the ingredients stay fresh for several days if you keep the tzatziki separate until serving
