How to Make Greek Chicken

1. In a large bowl, add minced garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
2. Add chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
4. Remove most of the marinade from the chicken before adding it to the skillet, or else it will burn.
5. Add chicken in an even layer to the skillet, leave some space between the chicken pieces so they’ll brown rather than steam. You may need to work in batches depending on how big your skillet is.
6. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes and then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 165°F.
7. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
8. Serve chicken over rice with a dollop (or two) of easy tzatziki sauce, diced red onion, fresh dill, pita bread, and a lemon wedge.

Recipe Notes

1. If the chicken is burning because of the marinade in the pan, I’ve found adding a splash of chicken broth or water to the pan helps and creates a flavorful browning on the chicken.
2. You can cook the chicken breasts whole instead and dice the chicken after it’s fully cooked. Same instructions except you will cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked, or until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 165°F.
3. Want to cook this on the grill? No problem. Keep the chicken breasts whole (do not cut into 1-inch chunks) and grill as you normally would, or follow these instructions:
   1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
   2. Place chicken on the grill for 6-7 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 165°F.
   3. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Live next to a Trader Joe’s? Go buy their Garlic Spread Dip (usually located next to the hummus) and add a dollop to your Greek chicken. It’s A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
