3 tblsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsps olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, minced

TZATZIKI SAUCE
1/3 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber (i doubled up on cucumber because i love it!)
1/3 cup fat free plain yogurt (we used organic plain regular greek yogurt)
3 tblsp fat free sour cream ( we did not use sour cream-instead added 3 extra tblsp of organic plain regular greek yogurt)
2 tsp fresh snipeed dillweed
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Put the chicken in a medium nonmetallic bowl. In a small nonmetallic bowl, stir together the oregano, cumin, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and 1/8 teaspn salt. Sprinkle over the chicken. Using your fingertips, press the mixture so it adheres to the chicken.
In the same small bowl, combine the 3 tblspns lemon juice, olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Pour over the chicken. Using your fingertips, rub into the chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for10 minutes, Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet.
Meanwhile,in a separate small bowl, stir together the sauce ingredients.
Broil the chicken 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 8 minutes. Turn over. Broil the chicken for 3 minutes or until just firm to the touch and no longer pink in the center. Serve the sauce over the chicken.
