Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad and Rice

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad by tossing mixed greens with your choice of dressing. Heat the cooked rice if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked, serve it alongside rice, salad, warm pita bread, and a generous scoop of tzatziki sauce.
