Heat a pan to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Place thin chicken breast in the pan and season with lots of pepper, garlic powder, sea salt, and chili powder on one side.

Flip the chicken and season the other side with the same seasonings.

Sear the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until crispy.

Lower the heat and let the chicken simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness.

Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a cutting board.

De-glaze the pan with a little bit of water to soak up the flavors and juices.

Dice the chicken and return it to the pan to mix with the juices.

For the tzatziki, squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon into Greek yogurt, add olive oil, salt, and minced fresh garlic.

Shred cucumber on a paper towel to drain excess water before adding it to the tzatziki.

Build the Greek bowl starting with a base of Roma lettuce, then add tomatoes, cucumber, diced chicken, red onion, and feta cheese.

Top the bowl with tzatziki, a drizzle of pesto, olive oil, and fresh pepper.
