Instructions
Creating the Chicken Plate with Tzatziki & Fries is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
2. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, combine diced cucumber, yogurt, dill, and mint (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld.
3. Cook the Fries: Prepare fries according to package instructions if using frozen. If homemade, cut potatoes into thin strips, season with salt, and bake or fry until golden and crispy.
4. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Plate the Dish: On each plate, arrange a portion of fries and top with sliced grilled chicken. Serve with a generous dollop of tzatziki.
7. Garnish: Add lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
