Notes

Use sour cream or unsweetened Greek yogurt instead of tzatziki for a lower-calorie option.
Swap out the veggies for whatever you have on hand.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days then reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle some water over top so the chicken doesn’t dry out.
Freeze the marinated chicken cooked or raw for up to 4 months. Thaw then cook or reheat as normal.
