Special shout out to Tzatziki sauce - we don't know what we'd do without you.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
- 1 cucumber, grated and drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the sides
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- Steamed peas, sugar snap peas, beans (1.5 cups per serve)
Method
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavour.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 74°C.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve with a dollop of tzatziki sauce on top.
- Divide chicken evenly between 4 and serve with steamed greens and quinoa.
