# Steps:
01 - In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for optimal flavor development.
02 - Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
03 - In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber that has been squeezed dry, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
04 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
05 - Divide cooked quinoa equally among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, optional olives, and chopped parsley. Add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce to each bowl.
06 - Serve immediately while chicken is warm. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.
