I posted a thread a couple weeks ago of some chicken I had marinated with Greek inspired flavors and served it with a nice Greek salad. Well that turned out so well and the family loved it so much they requested to have it again. This time I wanted to do something just a little bit different.
Started out with a couple pounds of chicken breasts and threw them in the marinade for a couple of hours. Sorry for the crap picture I forgot to get one inside and was grilling at night but you get the picture.
In case you missed the last post here is the marinade that I came up with.
1 cup greek yogurt
3/4 cup olive oil
6 TBS lemon juice
6 TBS dried oregano
6 TSP minced garlic
2 TSP black pepper
Pinch of dill
Reserve a cup or so of the marinade before adding to the chicken and baste every time that you flip the chicken.
Getting close it almost starts forming a crust.
All the fixin's ready to put together.
Greek dressing compliments of Jeff jcam222 . Doubled the recipe up.
½ cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 lemon juiced
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves minced
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Put everything together and add some tzatziki on the "gyro".
Close her up and we are ready to eat!
All in all this meal turned out fantastic. We really like all the flavors. I might dial back on the lemon juice just a little bit but everyone else said to leave it alone so I am good with that. Thanks for looking. Stay safe out there.
