04

Slice and serve with basil chimichurri, focaccia, and a red pepper and onion topping.

Pearl's note

The longer this marinates, the better, a couple of hours works, but overnight in the fridge gets the yogurt properly tenderising the chicken. Shoutout to @theappetiteofali, where I first saw her take on greek yogurt chicken!
