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

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates lightly.
  3. Remove chicken from fridge, shake off excess marinade, and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  4. Grill the chicken about 4–6 minutes per side for thighs, 5–7 minutes per side for breasts until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. 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.
