Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, cayenne pepper, coriander, and cumin.
- Step 2: Mix until smooth and fully combined.
- Step 3: Add the chicken to the bowl and toss well, making sure every piece is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Step 4: Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, though longer (up to overnight) will give the best flavor and tenderness.

- Step 6: Serve hot with vegetables, rice, or both.
