Ingredients

Marinade:

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
2 boneless chicken breasts with skin, rinsed, patted dry
2 cups spinach leaves, washed and dried, optional

Herb-Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce:

1/2 cucumber (about 1/2 cup), peeled and seeded
1 lemon, juiced
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic
1 cup yogurt
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill leaves

For the marinade:

Directions

In a medium sized bowl, mix together all marinade ingredients.

Add chicken breasts to marinade. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat grill to high heat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

When ready, remove chicken from marinade. Place on a grill and cook on high heat for 6 minutes on each side. Remove from grill to a heat-proof pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes, to finish cooking through.

For the herb-yogurt-cucumber sauce:

Dice the cucumber and add to a medium bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Slice chicken into strips and place over a bed of spinach, if desired, on a serving platter. Top with herb-yogurt-cucumber sauce and serve.

Moistest Chicken Breast Ever!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We really liked the chicken, however the sauce was so much like the sauce we make for our salmon that it just didn't wow us -... I kept thinking it didn't taste right together - but that's probably because of the fish association. Looking forward to trying your jalapeno sliders!Read more

Very Good. My Mediterranean husband loved it.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe sounded good. I like cooking on the grill. You grill just long enough to give it flavor, then finish in the... oven. We make the yogurt-cucumber salad often in our house and it goes very well with this dish. It was wonderful and very healthy. I'll be making this a regular dish in my house. My husband raved over it.Read more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I have to start off by saying i love Big Daddy's house I watch it every week. I'm just starting off cooking and this was a... very easy to follow. Everyone really loved the chicken but people really didn't like the sauce on top of the chicken. I guess it was the cold over hot food issue. Keep up the great work Big Daddy! Read more

A great spring dinner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a really great recipe. I started marinating the chicken in the morning and after work, we finished up the recipe... with the grilling. I also made the eggplant bruschetta and it was fabulous. I stopped in a Trader Joes and picked up some of the mediteranean flat bread and it was a great addition to the dinner. My kids even loved this dinner! I also want to comment that I really love Aaron. His recipes are always outstanding and he has a really good presence on TV. Thank you for giving him the show. I really love it! Read more
