Heidi’s Ginger Tzatziki Chicken
This is an internet sourced recipe that a wonderful relative Heidi shared. What do you get when you cross kindness with a Life & Health Coach? Well Heidi of course.
The recipe is delicious and quite healthy. I made small updates for my preferred taste and have highlighted my updates in *italic.
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons ginger powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
*1 tablespoon sesame sauce
For the Tzatziki:
1/4 cup finely diced cucumbers
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
For the wraps:
8 ounces Whole romaine lettuce leaves
1 3/4 cup sliced cucumber
*add sliced tomatoes
Directions:
In a bowl mix together the soy sauce, ginger, olive oil and pepper.
*I prefer to add sesame sauce to most recipes with soy sauce. It’s my personal preference and i encourage you to give it a try.
Add in the chicken and cover with plastic to marinate for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, add your cucumbers, dill, garlic, salt, pepper and yogurt and mix it together.
*put in the fridge, just before serving pull it from the fridge for appealing presentation and consistency.
Grill your chicken. *or pan fry
When it’s done, assemble your wraps by lining the romaine leaves with cucumber, then add a few pieces of chicken and top with the tzatziki.
*I prefer a salad mix with this and added tomatoes.
So delicious! Enjoy…
