INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
1/2 cup diced Cucumber
1 medium Tomato, diced
2 tbsp chopped Red Onion
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the fresh salad by combining the diced cucumber, tomato, and chopped red onion in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
For the tzatziki, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with the minced garlic and chopped dill. Add a pinch of salt and a small squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Plate the grilled chicken alongside the fresh salad and add a generous spoonful of the creamy tzatziki on the side.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the salad if desired, and serve immediately.
