In a small mixing bowl combine the olive oil, lemon, garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and mix well.

Refrigerate for two hours in a sealed ziplock bag or a sealed container {optional- you could at least just marinate for 20 minutes}.

Step 5

Prepare the tzatziki by combining the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, dill and mint. Stir well. Refrigerate.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill grates with oil.

Step 7

Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.

Step 8

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.

Step 9

Serve with a dollop of the tzatziki and a summer salad.
