What's For Dinner - Grilled Greek Chicken

Looking for a twist for your grilled chicken? This recipe is easy and adds a different dimension to your chicken. The marinade keeps it super-moist, and the yogurt adds a tang and a bit of creaminess.  I served it with fresh peas (from the garden!) and Bulgar wheat.  Delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 tsp dried.
