1.In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, 2 tablespoons of chopped dill, 1 teaspoon of chopped dill, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2.In a separate bowl, combine the chicken, oregano, olive oil, remaining 1 teaspoon of chopped dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to coat the chicken.
3.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
4.While the chicken is cooking, heat another skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
