I don’t understand how anybody could dislike this recipe. I was a little scared at first because the marinade seemed like a lot but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I added smoked paprika instead of regular paprika and I added a little bit of sazon. I cooked them in the air fryer at 390 to get some color and used extra marinade with a little chicken broth as a sauce. I cooked the chicken in the sauce for the remainder time and paired it with sautéed cabbage and turmeric rice. I will definitely be making this again.
I love making this. I make it two ways Greek-style (with garlic and oregano) and Indian-style (with turmeric, red chili powder, ginger garlic paste) Yum!!
I do the same thing I use this recipe for Greek and also I use yogurt for Indian marinade as well then bake it in the oven. There is nothing better than yogurt marinated chicken in my opinion lol I can’t get enough of it.
I grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Marinated the day before, left to room tem before grilling.- took 20 mins to cook through . So simple and amazingly delicious! - definitely a keeper!
I went camping on the beach last year and marinated the day before I left so they were good n the ice chest for another whole day. They came out wonderful. I did a Greek salad with only lemon as a dressing and tzatziki sauce that I prepared when marinating the chicken … it all came together… perfect
This was amazing! I couldn’t believe something so simple could be so delicious and to be honest I was really afraid to use yogurt to marinade but now I see what I was missing. Thank you for this wonderful recipe
This is my second time making this (in a week lol) and I merged it with your chicken meatballs in cream spinach sauce recipe. I marinated overnight and cooked all the chicken and sauce in a big pan, adding 1/2 cup cream and a load of baby spinach toward the end. Some fresh parsley too. It's delectable, thank you :)
Girl! This is amazing! We do this on a regular basis. Everyone I serve this to non-stop says this is so good! Lots of yummy sounds. Anyone who reads this, either the bbq or a grill pan is a must. I use chicken thighs. Not as pretty but really good 👌 👍
I made this chicken tonight thinking I would have lots leftover for meals throughout the week...it was delicious and I am going to have to make some more tomorrow! I will cut back a little on the salt but only because I am supposed to be on a low sodium diet. 😋
Yummy!!! Love this!!! Heard about ppl using mayo to do this, but yogurt is sooooo much healthier and more delicious!!! How amazing!!! Yayayayay!!!!♥️♥️♥️💕
Oh yes! Way healthier. I like mayo in my chicken salad and in some dressings but, I don’t know how I feel about it as a marinade... hope you enjoy this one! 😊
Oh dear. Mayonnaise as a marinade sounds terrible. I’ve been cooking for many years and multiple ethnic cuisines and I’ve never heard of such a thing. I can’t fathom why one would do that. It’s not acidic, has no tenderizing properties, and is not flavorful enough to contribute to the taste.
Dimitra your recipes are amazing ! I cooked tsatziki, vegetarian lasagna and aubergians with feta and spinach and it was absolutely one of the best dishes I have ever tried!! Thank you very much for sharing your recepies🙏❤️ would be very very nice if you could make more vegetarian options 🤗
By accident, I had some ready to eat shrimp and spinach... I put both into the leftover batter and cooked it for one minute.. oh my.. it was quite restaurant ee
OMG, I found you after so many months--almost a year. . . You always have tasty recipes! I used to follow you 'til that last hurricane damaged your house. I'm hoping you've now recovered all! CELESTE, in the ATL 🌼
Hi dear Dimitra we are cooking your delicious Greek Lasagna is on the oven right now! This chicken looks delicious too I’ll cook this on Friday for dinner! Thank you.❤️🙏
I made this tonight. Leg meat was on hand so it got used. The results were awesome. A great lively flavor with or without the sauce. Thank you for a superb recipe. It is a keeper in my cookbook.
Wow! This was an really good recipe and just so you know it was my first time making Greek chicken. It was so good I had it two nights in a row, the second time (tonight) I even had it with your homemade tzatziki sauce. This is so much better then at a restaurant (even though I'm sure yours is great)!
Thank you! Making this tonight! I recently found your page and I can't tell you how happy I was to find it.. I was in such a rut not knowing what to cook, being Italian and married to a Greek and I still had no idea what to cook anymore. I've already made a few of your recipes, one of them being the best Koulourakias I ever had.
I’ve been watching your channel 3 or 4 years now, but somehow missed this one. This looks so easy and delicious, I have to try this soon, like this week! ❤
I like it if about 2-3 tbs. honey added in the yogurt, and add chiles so it is spicy. Spicy garlics too. It's easier than grating, put it in the blender.
I can’t believe you said that about the vanilla yogurt because just when I was about to make it, I looked at it and it says Vanilla I’m so mad. I wanna make sure I have to wait till tomorrow yes
I thank you for this information.... I try to cook ethnic food but I hardly eat them (share them with neighbor) because it reminds me of home.. good video and beautiful lady..
TRIED THIS AND IT WAS SO GOOOOD!!!! I only get to eat this in restaurants, but this turned out so much better!! Recipe was super simple and easy! Thanks Dimitra! 🥰🥰🥰 Initially I din not want to use cumin, but it actually made a difference to the dish 😊
Love your recipes. Thank you for bringing Greece to our kitchen. Last week I made one pot lemon chicken and potatoes. Soooo tasty. Will try this chicken next week x x
I made this and it’s a great chicken breast recipe. I used a cast iron skillet - one tip I’ll add is the skillet doesn’t need much oil at all, there’s close to enough in the marinade. I used too much oil in the pan which made it a bit greasy, my mistake!
I love "marinating" chicken in yogurt simply because the yogurt that sticks to the meat actually carries the flavor to the meat. I grew up with my parents using oil based marinade for chicken and I never got the point, because it still had basically no flavor. The marinade smelled wonderful, but the meat never really had any of the taste of those spices. Yeah it made it tender, but it didn't do anything for flavor. Once I discovered yogurt marination I was hooked. All the spices stay stuck to the meat so when you cook it, the flavor is actually present.
Made this tonight and it was a hit!!!! So delicious. 😋😋😋Thanks for sharing. BTW, how many calories are there per tender? Just wondering because I log my calories.
So excited to give this a try! I’m regrettably unable to eat dairy and recently found that there are some plant based yogurts easily available, any thoughts on whether that might work or if there’s a work to make the recipe dairy free?
I love your teaching. But I find it hard to find the blog spot for this. Could you just share a link on your description. I find Chef John does this and it makes it easy to read the recipe.
I love this recipe on the grill for gyros...make sure to preheat and oil the grates to remove chance for sticking. if using tenders, make sure u remove the tendon or its a weird chewy sad experience.
