Greek-Style Grilled Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce

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
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  5. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through, with an internal temperature of 74°C.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve with a dollop of tzatziki sauce on top.
  9. Divide chicken evenly between 4 and serve with steamed greens and quinoa.
