  • Fry the chicken. Heat a frying pan until very hot. Add the chicken breasts and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and just cooked through. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
  • Prepare the tzatziki. Combine yoghurt, garlic, cucumber, and mint in a bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve. Serve the golden chicken with the tzatziki dip alongside.
