Description

This amazing appetizer can also be served alongside a salad for a light lunch or dinner – it’s perfect every time, flavorful, exotic, and EASY!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1  Lemon, Juiced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Smashed - No Need To Chop!
  • 2 pounds Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1-inch Cubes
  • 2 cups Greek-style Yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Onion
  • ⅔ whole English Cucumber, Grated With A Box Grater And Drained On Paper Towels
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Mint, Minced

Preparation

Marinate the chicken: Whisk together the mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and olive oil until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed – the lemon juice, garlic, and oregano should be flavorful. Add the cubed chicken and smashed garlic cloves to the marinade, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 3 hours if you have time.

For the Tzatziki sauce, mix yogurt, vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, onion, cucumber, and mint together. Taste and add a sprinkle of sugar or salt if needed – sauce should be tangy but not sharp from the yogurt. Set aside until ready to serve.

Heat a pan or griddle to medium-high heat and remove chicken from marinade. Grill the chicken for 5-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring to brown all sides.

Serve chicken with fresh veggies, toothpicks, and Tzatziki sauce, for dipping.

Alternative: use the marinade overnight on large chicken breasts, cook chicken breasts according to your favorite method, then serve the chicken over white rice topped with Tzatziki sauce. Serve this with a green veggie on the side for a quick, healthy weeknight meal!

I marinated boneless skinless chicken breasts in the frig overnight and then grilled them up. Can’t tell you how much we loved the flavor! This will replace my Ina Garten recipe for Lemon Chicken!
