Greek Yogurt And Dill Marinated Chicken Recipes

GREEK-STYLE YOGURT MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into equal-sized strips.
• Make the marinade: combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade.
• Cover with plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• Allow the chicken to come to room temperature.
• The chicken can be grilled on the barbeque, cooked on the stovetop in a skillet, or baked in the oven.
• To cook on the stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place the chicken in the pan. Cook for 5 minutes then, flip over. Cook 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 °F. Try not to flip the chicken over before 5 minutes or the chicken will tear. Yogurt tends to stick.
• Serve the chicken in a pita to create a delicious chicken gyro, with rice, over salad, or with tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
• To bake the chicken, place the chicken on a baking tray and cook in an oven that has been preheated to 425 °F for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.

• Add dill, garlic, and lemon zest to the marinade. Season with pepper.
• Submerge the chicken in the marinade and coat well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Remove chicken from marinade; let rest until chicken reaches room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking pan with oil.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking pan, making sure chicken pieces are not touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F.
• Remove chicken from oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

LEMON, YOGURT, AND DILL CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ROASTED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place potatoes, onion, carrots, and radishes in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss again to coat. Pour veggies out onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the veggies bake, prepare the chicken. In the same bowl the veggies were in, add the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. Dip each chicken thigh into the yogurt mixture, making sure each one is evenly coated.
• Remove pan from the oven, and gently push the veggies to the sides of the pan, leaving room in the middle for the chicken thighs. Place the thighs in the middle of the baking sheet, and place pan back into the oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and veggies are tender, 30 to 40 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If desired, place pan beneath broiler, and broil chicken for a few minutes to brown the chicken. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.
