BBQ yoghurt and thyme chicken

Ingredients

4 chicken thigh fillets

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Zest of a lemon

½ cup Greek yoghurt

2 tbs extra virgin olive oil

Fresh thyme sprigs

Chopped parsley and lemon juice, to serve
Method

Add the chicken, garlic, yoghurt, lemon zest and thyme sprigs in a bowl, season and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed – overnight is good.

Heat a BBQ or grill and place the marinated chicken pieces on the heat. Turn once it has a good colour and cook the other side until it is cooked. You may need to turn the piece a couple of times. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of the pieces. Remove from heat and rest for 10mins before cutting into slices. Sprinkle with parley and add a squeeze of lemon before serving.
