# Steps:
01 - Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add water, oregano, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in parsley.
02 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours refrigerated.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
04 - Combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.
05 - Divide herbed rice among four bowls. Top each with sliced chicken, tomato-cucumber salad, olives, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
