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.
