It’s BBQ season! With the upcoming long weekend, I wanted to share this super easy and amazingly delicious greek marinade recipe for grilled chicken.
A couple of Sundays ago we weren’t feeling our regular Sunday dinner, so we decided to deviate. Having just stocked up on a ton of chicken breast that was on sale, and also having a serious craving to put tzatziki on anything, I figured some grilled chicken was in order. The ingredients are simple and staples in a lot of our fridges and cupboards.
What Should I Serve it With?
We enjoyed serving the chicken with a cucumber-tomato salad and Skinnytaste’s Yellow Rice (and of course lots of tzatziki!). If you’re grilling for a crowd, my favourite pasta salad would also be a fantastic side.
Here’s to the beginning of a great summer and as much BBQ as we can get!
