Birthday Cake

Greek
Grilled Chicken with Tzatziki was for dinner last night and oh my, it was
amazing.  The smell of my kitchen while I was putting everything together
made my mouth water and filled my insides with excitement (I felt giddy). 
Dinner couldn't come soon enough!  This meal was so flavorful and did not disappoint.  With
what was leftover (not much); it made a very delicious lunch (in a slightly
different form). 

Greek
Grilled Chicken with Tzatziki

1
cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

1
lemon, juice and zest

2
teaspoons ground cumin

2
tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh dill

2
tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

3
garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1
teaspoon dried oregano

1
teaspoon sea salt

1
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4
boneless skinless chicken breasts

Mix
all ingredients together and toss with chicken.  Let chicken marinade for
at least 15 minutes or for several hours in the fridge.

Remove chicken
from fridge and grill over medium-high heat until cooked through.  Let
rest.

Tzatziki

2
English cucumbers

1/4
red onion, finely diced

2
tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2
tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1
garlic clove, minced

1/3
cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

3
tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt
and pepper

Slice
cucumber in half lengthwise.  Using a small spoon, scoop the seeds out of
the center of the cucumber.  Slice each half lengthwise into four longs
sticks, then dice.  You should have about 3 cups.  In a medium sized
mixing bowl, combine cucumbers, red onion, chopped mint, chopped dill, and
garlic.  Add the yogurt, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to
taste.  Stir to combine.  Serve a large spoonful alongside the
grilled chicken (or right on top).

Avoid
adding the yogurt, lemon juice and salt to the cucumber mixture to far before
serving to avoid the cucumbers releasing too much liquid.

*For
lunch I chopped up the leftover chicken and put it on top of the pita bread
that I served on the side last night. On top of the chicken I put a large
spoonful of tzatziki.  Yum!
