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.
