Greek Lemon and Garlic Chicken
Classic Greek Chicken
The combination of garlic, zesty lemon and fresh mint makes for a delicious main, paired perfectly with some roast potatoes, a fresh greek salad and a big dollop of my herb tzatziki.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 lemon
3 garlic gloves
Salt flakes
1/2 bunch of mint
Method
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add to a bowl with the yogurt
Grate the rind of the lemon and add half to the yogurt and keep half to the side
Add the juice of the lemon to the yogurt mixture
Add a generous sprinkle of salt flakes and mix together
Slice the chicken breasts into thin pieces and add to the yogurt marinade, mixing until all of the chicken is covered in the yogurt
Marinate for 2-4 hours
In a hot pan, add a splash of olive oil and fry the chicken until cooked through
Arrange the chicken on a plate with the mint leaves and sprinkle over the remaining lemon rind and some salt flakes
Serve with some roasted potatoes and a fresh side salad and enjoy!
