Ingredients

Serves:

    • Chicken:
    • 2 chicken breast halves, boneless, skinless
    • 3 tablespoons harissa
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened reek yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon paprika
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Dressing:
    • 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 hothouse cucumber, peeled, deseeded and finely diced
    • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in a flat baking dish and season with salt and pepper. In a separate, large mixing bowl combine harissa, yogurt, paprika, lemon zest and grated garlic then pour over chicken breast. Cover with plastic wrap then place in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

2. Pre-heat outdoor grill or griddle pan. Remove chicken from marinade and wipe off all excess marinade. Season both sides with salt and pepper then place on hot grill. Cook 6-8 minutes per side turning once so the chicken has even grill marks. Remove and set aside to rest.

3. In a large bowl, combine yogurt with diced cucumber, lemon zest, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil. Slice chicken breast on the bias and serve with cucumber dressing.

I really like this recipe. Can I marinate more than two chicken breast with the first mix of marinate? From the video it looks like you have lots of marinate left over.
