Tzatziki is a classic Greek cucumber yogurt sauce or dip. It is served as a condiment on gyros, fish and souvlakis, and other Greek dishes or it is served as a dip with pita wedges. I personally love it on my Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts, on chicken burgers, as a dip with crudites and even drizzled over Greek salad. My lightened up version is fat free and zero points!

I can’t think of a better time to make this with all the cucumbers and fresh herbs growing in my garden right now. Chives aren’t typically added but I love the flavor it adds to it. Some people also like to add mint leaves. Straining the yogurt and cucumbers are a must to make this thick, so don’t skip this step!

Thanks Paula Deen for this terrific recipe! I lightened Paula’s recipe by removing the skin and I replaced the mayonnaise with light mayo. Since I removed the skin, I put it in the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top and give it a golden color after it finished baking. This chicken was a hit with me and the hubbie!

Classic sauce of butter, lemon and fresh parsley goes perfect with any fish. I try to eat fish twice a week. For a quick healthy dinner on a busy weeknight, this is simple and delicious.
