I've got to admit, at first I thought this might be too simple of a recipe and maybe too plain tasting. But, after eating it I have a completely different opinion! So easy, yet so tasty! I even used leftover "dressing" on my turkey sandwich the next day. Yum! Thanks for a simply great recipe!

I made the marinade last night after dinner and we grilled the chicken tonight. I also drained the yogurt with a paper towel in a strainer (we're out of cheesecloth) to make it thicker. I added 1/2 tsp each of garlic powder, dried dill, and dried mint to the yogurt along with 1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar and lemon zest. The result was wonderful served in whole wheat pita with lettuce and tomato. This was a quick meal for after work. I am taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow and cannot wait! We told our 9 year old they were Greek tacos and she cleaned her plate. WOW!
