  • 4boneless (skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds))
  • 2 tablespoonsolive oil
  • 1 teaspoongarlic powder
  • 1 teaspoononion powder
  • —Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cupplain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 2 tablespoonsfresh dill (chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill))
  • 1 tablespoonlemon juice
  • 1 teaspoonDijon mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken: Begin by patting the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring they grill properly.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). This temperature will allow for a beautiful char while keeping the chicken juicy.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is preheated, place the chicken breasts on it. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperatures reach 165°F. You want them to have nice grill marks and be cooked through but not dried out.

  5. 5

    Let it Rest: After grilling, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Dill Sauce: While the chicken is resting, in a bowl, mix together 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Stir well until smooth and creamy.

  7. 7

    Serve: Slice the grilled chicken and serve it warm on a platter, drizzling the creamy dill sauce generously on top.
