I gave this recipe to a co-worker of mine (Dana) who was hosting an outdoor wedding shower for her niece. Everyone was asking Dana for copies of this recipe, needless to say she was very pleased and so was everyone at the shower. I am adding this recipe to my cookbook for my next outdoor grill party, thank you for posting this very delicious recipe. I cannot wait to taste it myself. PS. Dana also wanted me to say thank you for this recipe. Litldarlin

Delicious! The cucumber sauce is amazing and is fabulous with the chicken. I served it with greek orzo salad as well. The only change i made was to marinate the chicken in a store bought greek vinagerette overnight.

This was a really great and easy dinner! I never realized that the yogurt sauce could be so easy to make. I would definitely team this up with an olive/feta salad and baklava for a fun Greek night!
