This Grilled Chicken Breast with Creamy Dill Sauce recipe offers a deliciously simple and healthy meal. Juicy, marinated chicken breasts are grilled to perfection and topped with a zesty, creamy sauce made from Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and honey. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a summer cookout, this dish combines bright flavors and tender textures in just 25 minutes plus marinating time.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Creamy Dill Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes, occasionally turning to ensure even coating.
  3. Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Make the creamy dill sauce: While the chicken grills, mix Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, and honey in a bowl until smooth and well combined to create a tangy, creamy sauce.
  5. Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to serving plates and generously spoon the creamy dill sauce over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, but up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Greek yogurt can be substituted with regular plain yogurt if preferred, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker sauce.
  • Fresh dill is key for vibrant flavor; dried dill can be used but reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
