  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken chunks to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the chicken marinates, prepare your yogurt dip by mixing Greek yogurt with lemon juice, cucumber, dill, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
