Method
 

Marinate Chicken

Prepare Tzatziki
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and refrigerate.
Grill Chicken
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Assemble Salad

Serve
