A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring grilled chicken paired with a refreshing cucumber yogurt sauce.
Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl.
Use a whisk to ensure the marinade ingredients are well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Grate the cucumber and mix it with salt in a strainer. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess liquid.
Squeezing out the liquid prevents the sauce from becoming watery.
Combine the drained cucumber with yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, mint, and minced garlic. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chill the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the grilled chicken with the cucumber sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
