Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken
Report
I've got a quick and easy grilled chicken recipe made with a yogurt marinade, perfect when prepared in a whole-wheat pita. These would make a great summer lunch paired with a side of couscous salad and some fruit for a complete meal.

Ingredients
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt I used Stonyfield organic yogurt
- 1 lemon zest and juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper (cayenne)
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
For Serving
- whole-wheat pitas
- lettuce
- hummus
Instructions
- Mix together all of the marinade ingredients, from the yogurt down to the red pepper.
- Submerge the chicken and marinate for at least a couple hours or as long as overnight.
- Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high. Spray the grates with oil (to prevent sticking) and grill the chicken for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until done all the way through (no longer pink in the middle—165 degrees F when inserted with a thermometer).
- Slice and serve with warm whole-wheat pitas, lettuce, and hummus. I like to put a little butter in a pan on the stove (or on the griddle) to help warm up the pitas.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
- Can be made gluten-free with the use of gluten-free pitas or assembled as a lettuce wrap.
