Ingredientsfor 4 portions
- 600 g Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Raw
- 1 Lemon
- 30 g Olive Oil
- 3 clove Garlic, minced
- 6 g Oregano
- 300 g Greek Yogurt
- 150 g Cucumber, grated
- 8 g Dill, chopped
Steps
- Mix the juice of the lemon with the olive oil, half the garlic and the oregano. Coat the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better).
- Make the tzatziki: grate the cucumber, squeeze out as much liquid as you can, then stir into the yogurt with the remaining garlic and the dill. Chill until needed.
- Heat a grill or griddle to medium-high. Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until charred outside and the juices run clear.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes so the juices settle, then slice.
- Serve the sliced chicken with a generous spoonful of cold tzatziki and extra lemon on the side.
