Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 pound of chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and place it on the hot grill. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of Greek yogurt and the juice of 1 lemon until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, combine 1 cup of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of diced cucumber, ½ cup of finely chopped red onion, ½ cup of pitted and diced Kalamata olives, and ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to blend all the ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place your corn tortillas or soft taco shells on it for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable.
- Take one warmed tortilla and place a generous portion of sliced grilled chicken in the center. Top it with the vibrant salad mixture, and drizzle with the tangy yogurt sauce prepared earlier.
- Finish by garnishing your assembled tacos with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for an added pop of color and flavor. Serve the Mediterranean Chicken Tacos immediately.

Notes
Ensure chicken is not overcooked by using a meat thermometer; aim for 165°F to retain moisture and tenderness. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
