Greek Chicken and Tzatziki

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Servings: 4

I had a version of this meal at a friend's house earlier in the summer and since then, I've had tzatziki on the brain. I love that it's so creamy without being terrible for you. Since it's not normal to spoon tzatziki into your mouth... eat it with this chicken. We made ours in a pan since we ran out of propane for the grill.

Pros: chilled, tart tzatziki

Cons: if chicken isn't your fave Ingredients for chicken:

• 3 lbs of chicken (4 small chicken breasts)

• 1 teaspoon rosemary

• 1 teaspoon thyme

• 1 teaspoon oregano

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 1 lemon

• Olive oil

• Salt

Ingredients for tzatziki:

• 1 cup of greek yogurt (I used a mix of whole/2%)

• 1/2 large cucumber

• 1 lemon

• 3-4 cloves of garlic

• 1 heaping tablespoon dill

• Salt

Chicken:

1. Cut your chicken breast into 1 and a 1/2 inch cubes.

2. Mix all of your dry ingredients together in a bowl. I recommend tasting the mixture here before adding your chicken to see if you've salted enough.

3. Juice your lemon into the bowl and mix until everything is combined.

4. Add your chicken, mix, and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

5. Grill - If you're going to grill your chicken, add a healthy drizzle of olive oil into your marinade before setting it aside.

6. Pan - If you're cooking your chicken in a pan, add a drizzle of olive oil in the pan and cook the chicken in batches as to not over crowd.

Tzatziki:

1. Finely chop your garlic cloves.

2. Roughly chop the dill.

3. Quarter your cucumber into spears and then cut them each into thin pieces.

4. Add everything to your greek yogurt and juice your whole lemon into it. Mix!

5. Salt to taste. You should only need about a 1/4 teaspoon.
