Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 cucumber, grated
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the couscous, then remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, dill, and salt to make the tzatziki.
  4. Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

For best flavor, marinate the chicken longer. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
