In a small saucepan, combine the dry brown lentils with 1 cup of water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
While lentils cook, season the raw chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Halve the raw cherry tomatoes, dice the raw red onion, and chop the raw cucumber.
Drain any excess water from the cooked lentils and stir in the lemon juice.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips and assemble the bowl by layering lentils, chicken, tomatoes, onion, and cucumber.
Top with crumbled feta cheese and a dollop of cooling tzatziki before serving.
