Ready for full transparency? I originally planned this recipe for a brand client thinking it would work with regular yogurt…spoiler, it does not. This recipe needs Greek Yogurt. I mean, I guess I should have known from the actual name of the recipe and the name of the yogurt. Apparently, the Greeks know their stuff. The Greek Yogurt is thicker and hangs onto the chicken more to coat it and make it super moist.

I love this chicken so much because it’s easy but also it has these wonderful citrus, light, lemon, cucumber and dill flavors that bring regular old chicken alive. So easy! Pair with some veggies, rice or some naan bread and you will be a happy camper.

Just make sure to use Greek Yogurt, not the regular stuff.
