Greek Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce

I don't have much experience with greek food and honestly when I think of greek food I think of some weird meat covered in yogurt sauce. But that is totally not the case, recently at work it has been a fan favorite & I really enjoyed it. So I branched out and made grilled greek chicken with tzatziki sauce. To keep this dish diet conscience I would call it a deconstructed chicken gyro. I served the grilled chicken with a fresh salad and Naan bread! This was really a quick weeknight dish but is always something totally difference to enjoy! 



What You'll Need: 

1 lb boneless 
1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper 
1 large garlic clove (chopped finely) 
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
2 cups of chopped lettuce 
1 large piece of naan bread (cut into pieces or you can use pita bread) 

For the Sauce

1/2 cup plain low fat greek yogurt
1/2 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 gloves of garlic (grated)
1 tablespoon dill 

What To Do: 


Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. In a large bowl place chicken, olive oil, garlic, juice of 1/2 the lemon and the spices. mix together then grill 6 minutes on each side. 

Let the chicken rest and make the tzatziki sauce: place all the ingredients in bowl and some salt and pepper and stir together. 

Place lettuce in bowl and season with salt and pepper and 1/2 lemon juice. 


Slice the chicken and serve over naan bread & lettuce with tzatziki sauce on the side.
