It is rare that I feel like cooking with chicken, I just do not like the texture of raw poultry, but I was craving it today. Maybe it was my colleague asking about how to make tzatziki that triggered the craving, maybe it was the freshly dried oregano….

This evening’s dinner was my take on chicken souvlaki. Marinate the chicken breasts in garlic, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil for a minimum of 2 hours.

The tzatziki requires a handful of ingredients: cucumber, garlic, mint (optional) and Greek yogurt.

Once the cucumber has been grated, squeeze out the excess water and add the garlic, a pinch  of salt and yogurt.

Grill the chicken breasts in a grill pan or on the barbecue.

Always let the chicken sit for a few minutes once cooked in order to lock in the juices before slicing.

Load your bib lettuce leaves with chicken, slices of tomato, red onion and dollops of tzatziki. Et voilà!

Bon apétit!
