  • 1 medium cucumber grated and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill

Prepare Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Marinate Chicken
