Prepare the chicken marinade: In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with 20 g of olive oil, 45 ml of lemon juice, and 8 g of minced garlic. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

Make the tzatziki: Place the grated cucumber in a clean towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture. In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, remaining 15 ml lemon juice, remaining 4 g minced garlic, chopped dill, and remaining 7 g olive oil until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
