Today, I am marinating chicken, greek style and serving it with a fresh tzatziki sauce. The marinade is a simple combination of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, and garlic with fresh herbs, parsley, oregano and thyme.  Tzatziki is a cucumber dip made with greek yogurt. It’s super good and compliments chicken very nicely. You can make this chicken recipe with or without the tzatziki. In the pictures you’ll see I served my chicken with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes and basil simply drizzled with olive oil and a little sea salt. 

Fresh herbs are LOADED with nutrition. Most people add herbs because of flavour, but modern research has found evidence that there are tremendous nutritional benefits to eating herbs in abundance.  Oregano is known to fight bacteria and reduces inflammation. It’s super rich in anti-oxidants, which helps prevent cellular damage. Parsley also fights bacteria and helps to offset cellular damage, supports bone health and contains cancer fighting substances. Parsley also appears to be good for your heart. Thyme has been shown to lower blood pressure in animal studies. It is good for immunity, and seems to boost mood. Herbs taste good and they are very good for you. Sounds like a win win to me!

There is very little work in making this recipe, but you do need a little marinating time for maximum flavour.

I hope you try it!
