EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To easily seed the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and run a small spoon down each half to remove seeds.

Try Greek plain yogurt in place of the regular yogurt; the sauce will be a bit thicker.

HELLO! This was so easy but really good. I used about twice the cinnamon it called for, as well as a light dusting of cumin, and went once around the pan with a drizzle of EVOO instead of vegetable oil. Also used nonfat plain Greek yogurt and added a dash of garlic powder to the yogurt sauce -- I feel like regular yogurt would be really runny once the cucumber is added -- and made that the night before in about five minutes before heading to bed, to let the flavors blend. I served this alongside the Confetti Quinoa Salad recipe also on here, which paired very well with it. My normally semi-picky fiance (who claims to dislike Greek food) asked for seconds, and finished off the leftovers the next day. Definitely an easy weeknight meal we'll be having again!

We are trying to find new ways to cook chicken, so I took a chance on this recipe. I'm so glad I did! We both loved it, I really couldn't believe how easy it was to make. We will be making this again, for sure!

I tried this recipe for the first time at my daughter's house and used her family for guinea pigs - she has 3 children, and they will pretty much try anything once. They loved this recipe! All of us were delightfully surprised. We got chicken breasts were quite large, so I had to add to the cooking time, other than that, this is a fast main dish for those busy week nights! I also agree with kcraig09 - the ingredients DO sound a bit odd, but the flavors come together very well!
