Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast
2 T plain Greek yogurt
1 T olive oil
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper, black
1/4 t turmeric
1 t onion powder
1 t garlic powder
1 t paprika
1/2 t dill
1/2 t oregano
1/2 ea juiced lemon


Directions
1. Cut the chicken into roughly 1.5" chunks
2. Stir together the yogurt, oil, spices, herbs and lemon juice in a bowl until well combined
3. Toss the chicken with the mixture until fully coated
4. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat
6. Once hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil, then the chicken pieces
7. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until a deep golden brown (internal temperature 165F)
8. Remove the chicken and serve immediately

Note: do not marinate more than 24 hours or the acids can break down the chicken and leave it mushy

Serving suggestion: serve over rice with chopped romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion
