  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
