Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or use a grill pan over the stove).
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Dill Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
- Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Plate the grilled chicken and drizzle generously with the creamy dill sauce.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or a wedge of lemon for added flair.
- Pair with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Grilled Chicken
- Avoid Overcooking: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked, juicy chicken.
- Marinate for Flavor: Even a quick 15-minute marinade enhances the taste.
- Rest the Chicken: Allowing the chicken to rest after grilling keeps it moist and tender.
Why This Recipe Stands Out
- Fresh Herbs Shine: The dill in the sauce elevates the dish, adding a bright, earthy flavor.
- Healthy Balance: High in protein and low in carbs, this dish is great for a balanced diet.
- Elegant Yet Simple: It’s easy enough for everyday meals but special enough for entertaining.
Grilled chicken with creamy dill sauce is a delightful combination of simplicity and sophistication. With minimal effort, you’ll create a dish that’s bursting with flavor and sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. Try it tonight and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal at home! 🐔🌿
