Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken
1 1/2 lbs
3/4 cup
plain yogurt
2-3 tablespoons
olive oil
2 cloves

1 tablespoons

Kalamata olives (about a handful)
2-3 ounces

Basil-Dill Salad Dressing
- Add chicken to a large bowl with yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, zest from 1 lemon and juice from half of the lemon along with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Toss all together until chicken is evenly coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium high and cook chicken over direct heat until it reaches the internal temperature of 165°, turning at least once during cooking time. (Approximately 6-9 minutes per side depending on thickness of chicken pieces.)
- If serving with grilled vegetable salad, add the bell pepper and onion to the grill at the same time as the chicken (They can be chopped and skewered to grill, use a grill pan or grill pepper whole and onion sliced and then cut and add to the salad.)
- While the chicken, onion and pepper is cooking on the grill, make Basil-Dill salad dressing and toss in a large bowl with grilled onion and pepper chunks, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives and feta cheese.
- Serve chicken over salad.
