Tried this for friends on Saturday and it was a great hit! Easy, flavorful, and picture perfect as it came off the grill. I served it with the sweet chili sauce, which we had never tried, and it was a nice sweet spicy compliment. For sides I chose a Mediterranean orzo salad, sliced tomatoes and avacado, and grilled flat bread. Great meal we'll do again. It seemed like a lot of marinade with 2 cups of yogurt, so I might cut that down next time.

Thick Greek yogurt helps the marinade stick to the chicken.
