Greek-Style Yogurt Marinated Chicken

Step 1

Slice the chicken into equal-sized strips.

Step 2

Make the marinade: combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.

Step 3

Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade.

Step 4

Cover with plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Step 5

Allow the chicken to come to room temperature.

Step 6

The chicken can be grilled on the barbeque, cooked on the stovetop in a skillet, or baked in the oven.

Step 7

To cook on the stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the chicken in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then, flip over. Cook 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 °F. Try not to flip the chicken over before 5 minutes or the chicken will tear. Yogurt tends to stick.

Step 8

Serve the chicken in a pita to create a delicious chicken gyro, with rice, over salad, or with tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!

Step 9

To bake the chicken, place the chicken on a baking tray and cook in an oven that has been preheated to 425 °F for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.
