Ingredients:
1 teaspoon turmeric |
fine sea salt |
1/2 cup greek yogurt |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
olive oil |
1 red onion, sliced thickly |
1 tomato, halved |
1 lemon, halved |
2 cups greek yogurt |
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint |
2 lemons, juiced |
1 1/2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped |
fine sea salt |
garlic herb oil, for serving |
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, roughly chopped |
Directions:
1. For the chicken: Blend the turmeric and some salt with the yogurt in a large bowl and add the chicken. Toss to coat and marinate chicken for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours (in the fridge).
2. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for a few minutes on each side, until cooked through.
3. For the vegetables: Drizzle olive oil on the onion, tomato and lemon and season with salt. Grill all until a bit charred on each side.
4. For the tzatziki: Incorporate the yogurt, dill, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Season with salt and set aside.
5. To serve, drizzle the chicken with garlic herb oil and spoon a scoop or two of tzatziki directly on top. Plate each dish with a few pieces of grilled veggies and, before serving, squeeze 1 grilled lemon half over the chicken and sprinkle with oregano.
