Delicious and very filling. Made the chicken exactly as written. It was very spicy - lots of garlic and using fresh oregano was great. Yes, it's a little dry, but it's chicken breast - that's what it will be! If you use 1/2 boneless chicken thighs that would make it a bit more moist, just re-figure the nutrition. I used fresh, store bought (from my local Sprouts) tzatziki sauce instead of making my own.
