Calories 334kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (approximately 8)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- a few pinches each of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Trim the fat off the chicken thighs.
- In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, honey, oregano, basil, thyme, cumin, paprika, dill, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients well until combined. Toss the chicken well in the marinade in the bowl until well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours (30 minutes is sufficient if you're in a hurry). You can also transfer the chicken and marinade to another container, if desired.
- When you're ready to grill, add the chicken to a hot grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74 degrees Celsius (165 Fahrenheit).
- Alternatively, pan fry in a hot skillet with a little bit of olive oil until the chicken reaches the same internal temperature, cooking on medium-high for at least 6-7 minutes per side.
- Let the chicken rest on a plate (cover with foil) for about 5 minutes before serving.
