Instructions

  • Prepare tzatziki sauce – Mix Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, reserved lemon zest, and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lemon juice or seasoning if needed. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Make cucumber tomato salad – Combine cucumber, tomato, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, taste, and adjust as needed. Store in the fridge until ready.

  • Season the chicken – Pat chicken thighs dry and coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
  • Bake the chicken – Place chicken in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove from oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
