This Greek specialty is sure to become a new dinner staple. The chicken is crusted with a lemony, soy-herb sauce and served in a pita with a yogurt-cucumber sauce.

Fresh lemon juice

¼ cup(s)

Low sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp(s)

Honey

1 tbsp(s)

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. In a shallow baking pan, whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, oil and oregano; add chicken and turn to coat.
  3. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken once or twice during cooking.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, dill and garlic powder.
