While the chicken marinates, make the tzatziki. Grate the half cucumber on the large holes of a box grater, then gather it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until most of the liquid is out. In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, dill, and ¼ tsp salt until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
