Alex's Green Chicken Recipe

Omigod! is Alex trying to put rat poison in your food again? Nope! This time she's just offering you a zesty green chicken dish.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
3 lbs. chicken, cut into quarters (or 4 boneless breasts)
Salt and black pepper (for chicken)
1 cup parsley leaves, tightly packed
1/3 cup basil leaves, tightly packed
1 clove garlic
1 tsp. salt (for puree)
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup of Greek yogurt

Instructions:

  1.  Sprinkle salt and pepper on chicken
  2. Puree the herbs, garlic, salt, honey, cayenne and olive oil until smooth. Using half of the mixture, marinate chicken pieces in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. 
  3. Grill chicken over low heat, turning just until firm to the touch, about 7 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes. Mix remaining herb puree with yogurt. Drizzle over chicken. 
Enjoy!
