Introduction
This makes a good lunch or light dinner with a Mediterranean flair. I came up with this recipe as a way to use up leftover roast chicken--which is a great option instead of the fresh chicken breast!

Marinate cubed chicken breast pieces in lemon juice, zest, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, mix yogurt, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Can be made several days in advance for a more intense sauce.
Spray a sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray. Heat over medium heat and add chicken. Saute until cooked through and browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Serve chicken over rice with garlic-yogurt sauce on the side or on top.
