- Marinate & Grilled Chicken
Put all marinate ingredients in a mason jar shake or mix well to combine.
Slice or flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness, and place in a ziplock bag.
Add about 3/4 of the marinade to the ziplock bag; saving 1/4 of it for later.
Massage the marinate around to ensure chicken is well covered, seal the bag and refrigerate a couple hours.
Remove from fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring chicken to room temperature.
Grill on a very hot grill, turning often and brushing with reserved 1/4 marinade once chicken is grilled on both sides. (Always cook until chicken hits 165 degrees) - Tzatziki Sauce
Mix all the ingredients until well combined, refrigerate until use.

Combine yeast, water and sugar. Give a quick mix and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
Add to flour, yogurt, oil & salt in a mixer and use a dough hook mix about 10 minutes or until smooth and pulled away from the sides and in a ball.
Put into a lightly oil bowl, cover with a damp towel and set aside in a warm place for 60 minutes.
Put on a floured surface and roll into an even log and cut into 8 pieces, then turn each into a round ball.
