Yogurt Marinated Chicken

I bought some greek yogurt to have on hand and while that's great, I don't want it to go bad either.  I decided to use it to marinate some chicken breasts all day.  I thought to serve this marinated chicken in a pita with some spiced lentils and tomatoes.  It was pretty good, but I would amp up the spices in the marinade next time.

Marinade

Whisk 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt with the juice of 1 lime, a splash of red-wine vinegar, 1 tsp dried dill and 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and turmeric (all ground). Season with salt and pepper.  Place two chicken breasts in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, let it marinate all day in the fridge or probably overnight would be ok too.

Cook It
Bake in a 350F oven until done and juicy, about 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the breasts

Serve It
Slice the breasts and serve on pita with lettuce, tomatoes (I didn't add them but it would be good!), feta and yogurt sauce. Enjoy!

Yogurt Sauce
1/4 cup of plain greek yogurt, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1 tsp sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp of feta, salt and pepper.
