Mediterranean Chicken with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

I bought feta at Costco, so decided it was time for Mediterranean Chicken. I also made some Kale and Feta Dolmas to go with it.

Ingredients:

Main Dish:
  • 2 chicken breasts cut into cubes
  • 1/2 a large Vidalia onion cut in large oueces
  • 1 pepper bell, cut into 1/5" quares
  • 2 ounces feta, crumbled 
Marinade:
  • 2 teaspoon aweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry basil (or 2 teaspoons fresh, cut into small bits)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano (or 1 teaspoons fresh, cut into small bits)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped (or 1 teaspoon powdered)
  • 1 lemon juiced (or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
  • 3/4 cup greek yogurt + 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped (ot 1 teaspoon [powdered)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dry)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt , or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
 

Instructions:

  1. Add all the marinade ingredients to the small bowl and mix together.
  2. In a large bowl add chicken, peppers and onions;
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and veggies, place in refrigerator for at least half hour.
  4. Spread chicken and veggies on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes at 4000 degrees.
  6. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, and roast for 5 minute more.
    (optionally - thread chicken, peppers, and onions on skewers, and cook on medium hot grill for about 15 minutes, turning often, until chicken is cooked through with the internal temperature at 165F)
  7. Mix up the Garlic Yogurt Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  8. Serve the chicken with garlic yogurt sauce, stuff into pita bread if you have it.

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! I served it with kale and feta dolmas.
We liked the leftovers even more with fresh pita bread the next day.
