I know what you’re thinking, “Last month was ‘Get Your Grill On’ so why are we seeing a grilling recipe this month?” Well, one way to “Beat the Heat” is to keep the heat outdoors!
Anyway, last month I shared a recipe for Grilled Lemon Yogurt Chicken (you can find instruction on pounding chicken and setting up your grill there). It was a big hit at my house but I though it would be great to change it up a bit with some tarragon along with some zip. Here’s what I came up with.
Zesty Tarragon Yogurt Chicken
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to the same thickness (go HERE for more instruction)
- 1 6-oz container of plain yogurt
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp dried tarragon
- 1 Tbsp Tabasco or hot sauce of choice
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
Directions:
Place everything in a bowl and mix to combine. Make sure every piece of your chicken is thoroughly coated. Cover with plastic and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours. (Note, the enzymes in the yogurt helps to tenderize your meat. If your chicken marinates more than 3 hours, these enzymes will begin to change the texture of the chicken)
Prepare your grill for 3 temperature cooking (pile coals to create a hot, medium and low grilling area). Cook your marinated chicken for 2 minutes over the hot area, flip and cook for 2 minutes over the medium area and finally finish cooking over the low are for 2 minutes. If your chicken is finished cooking, the juices will run clear. (See more HERE)
Remove your chicken from the grill and place on platter. Let it rest for a couple of minutes and serve up. Doesn’t it look great? It’s wonderful sliced up and eaten as a salad on a bed of crisp romaine or rolled in a tortilla for a great wrap sandwich.
Come back tonight at midnight for July’s Party Thyme spice giveaway AND link party!

What a fantastic chicken recipe! This is so much healthier than the recipes which use cream for marinating. I’d be thrilled if you’d come on over to Pink Recipe Box and link up at Creative Wednesdays: http://pinkrecipebox.com/creative-wednesdays-with-pink-recipe-box-2/
