Ingredients

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate at least 15 minutes (up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates. Grill chicken 5-7 minutes per side, or until deeply golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, mint, cucumber, and red wine vinegar in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
Slice chicken breasts. Serve warm, drizzled with herbed yogurt sauce. Garnish with extra herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
