I had a few chicken breasts thawing in the fridge during the day. My plan was to prepare a simple marinade for the chicken and let Bret grill them for dinner. I wanted to use one of my favorite dry rubs, a Mongolian Ginger BBQ meat rub, that I picked up in Portland.
After reading Kerstin's blog this morning, I knew that I wanted to use Greek yogurt in the marinade. I marinated the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, Greek yogurt and the dry rub.
We let the chicken marinate for about an hour before Bret got to work on the grill. The yogurt helped create a nice seared crust while keeping the chicken breasts moist inside. We ate the chicken with a side of steamed sugar snap peas. This dinner was simple and yet full of flavor!
Kerstin's blog provided instant inspiration for tonight's dinner. Tell me, where have you been finding inspiration for your kitchen (or grill)!

Ironically, Kerstin inspired a recently meal of mine! I made her BBQ Sloppy Joes w/ cheddar cheese & caramelized onions! A winning recipe for sure. I'll have to try this one next!
Your blog always inspires me! I know I would love this rub!
I am so craving yogurt-marinated chicken after seeing both of your posts. I get inspiration from the farmers market at this time of year.
You can grill in the city. You just have to adapt tactics to do so.
Looks delicious! I am a huge fan of the grill....I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I had never thought about using Greek yogurt for a marinade! What a great idea! I'll have to try that out. :-)
i used a maple glaze marinade i bought when i was up in VT on some steak tips on monday night. bc i dont have a real grill, i substituted my Cuisinart grill and griddler and they came out great!
This must be similar to letting chicken soak in buttermilk?! Sounds awesome though!! I bet that rub is so good! Looks delicious
Sounds like a delicious marinade!
Greek yogurt should be used in everything, I say. I love that you are able to grill now and I can continue being inspired here!
What a great chicken recipe, looks delicious! :)
Using yogurt is genius! I get inspiration from blogs and whatever's available at the farm stand.
i made yogurt marinated chicken this weekend, too :) i've been getting inspiration from my csa!
I definitely find inspiration from various blogs all the time! This chicken looks amazing... I love anything with ginger :)

That dry rub sounds great. I love marinating with greek yogurt...it gives the meat such a nice flavor and it's always tender!
Yay for Greek yogurt! That spice rub sounds delicious. And how awesome you have a grill - I'm jealous :)
