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
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.
