Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed boneless skinless chicken breast to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
