Description

Inspired by a fab grilled chicken made by my Greek former neighbor. Paired with my version of a Tzatziki sauce, you have a quick, easy, fresh and wonderful dinner.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Dill, Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 4 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Halves (about 2 Pounds)
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1-½ cup Plain Low-fat Yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½ cups Seedless Cucumber, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, Peeled And Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Dill, Chopped
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper
  • _____
  • FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
  • Tomato Slices
  • Thinly Sliced Onion
  • 6 whole Flat Bread, Pita Bread, Or Tortillas

Preparation

(For the sauce)
1. In a small bowl, place yogurt, lemon juice, chopped cucumber, minced garlic, and chopped dill.

2. Stir to combine. Taste, and then add a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

(For chicken)
1. In a gallon sized zipper storage bag, add olive oil, chopped dill, chopped garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

2. Seal the bag and smush it around until combined. Open and add the chicken.

3. Reseal the bag, and shake the chicken inside to coat. Put the bag in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. (All day is fine – but a minimum of 30 minutes works, too.)

4. Later, when you’re ready to eat, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. Grill chicken for 8-10 minutes per side (18-20 minutes total) or until no longer pink.

6. Remove chicken to a cutting board, and rest for 2-3 minutes.

7. Thinly slice chicken across the grain.

8. To serve, place a flat bread (or pita or tortilla) on a plate. Put several pieces of sliced chicken on the bread. Add tomato slices, and onion. Top with a few tablespoons of dill cucumber sauce.

I’ve been on a mediterranean kick lately so I can’t wait to try this for the first time tomorrow along with some hummus. The cucumber sauce sounds so yummy!

This is really good. I let the yoghurt sauce sit over night and it tasted just like gyros from Chicago! I also broiled the chicken. Now, if I could perfect my lamb/beef gyro meat…

Made this last night for dinner, it was easy to put together. The chicken was really good and had lots of flavor. I had never used fresh dill before so I wasn’t sure what the flavors would taste like but we really liked it! My boyfriend said he had never tasted anything like it, we have only had greek food twice before. All in all it was easy to make, very flavorful and a healthy, guilt free meal!
