Description
A delicious blend of grilled chicken with Mediterranean flavors in taco form, topped with fresh veggies and creamy feta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5–2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1–2 lemons
- Fresh dill, oregano, parsley, garlic, paprika, and cumin
- Small flour tortillas or warmed pitas
- Diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and tzatziki or lemon-herb vinaigrette
Instructions
- Chop herbs, mince garlic, and zest the lemon. Mix your chosen marinade in a bowl. Coat the chicken completely and refrigerate for the recommended time.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates lightly.
- Remove chicken from fridge, shake off excess marinade, and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Grill the chicken about 4–6 minutes per side for thighs, 5–7 minutes per side for breasts until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice or shred. Build tacos with warm tortillas, toppings, and a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
Use thighs for juicier chicken; experiment with marinades for different flavors.
