Tzatziki Marinated Chicken Recipe
Using tzatziki to marinate chicken is one of my favorite kitchen hacks. I often have a container of store-bought tzatziki in my fridge, so I can start marinating the chicken in minutes. The yogurt in the tzatziki is a natural meat tenderizer, so this chicken always turns out flavorful and juicy.

Tzatziki: Pick up some store-bought tzatziki to make your dinner a breeze. I like Summer Fresh Tzatziki. Or, for a twist on this recipe, try it with my mint tzatziki.
