Ingredients
Chicken:
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables:
- Olive oil
- 1 red onion, sliced thickly
- 1 tomato, halved
- 1 lemon, halved
Tzatziki:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 1/2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- Fine sea salt
- Garlic herb oil, for serving
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
For the chicken: Blend the turmeric and some salt with the yogurt in a large bowl and add the chicken. Toss to coat and marinate chicken for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours (in the fridge).
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.
For the vegetables: Drizzle olive oil on the onion, tomato and lemon and season with salt. Grill all until a bit charred on each side.
For the tzatziki: Incorporate the yogurt, dill, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Season with salt and set aside.
To serve, drizzle the chicken with garlic herb oil and spoon a scoop or two of tzatziki directly on top. Plate each dish with a few pieces of grilled veggies and, before serving, squeeze 1 grilled lemon half over the chicken and sprinkle with oregano.

Good, but on the plain side. We barbecued red peppers for the veggie, and they were the star.

I was disappointed. I didn't think the chicken got much flavour from the marinade. I also really missed the garlic in the tzatziki.

A very solid recipe. I let the chicken marinade for about an hour. I didn't have the fresh herbs but I had dried on hand and it still tasted great. Will make again.
