Grilling Season Meets Garden-Fresh Flavor

Grilling season is in full swing, and my husband’s garden is bursting with herbs. Somehow, we’re still enjoying fresh spinach and lettuce, long past their usual season—but you won’t hear me complaining!

One of my go-to summer meals is zesty Greek lemon chicken with creamy tzatziki sauce. But this week, my Head Chef (you know, the guy who feeds me) threw in some fresh mint just for fun—and wow. Instant favorite! That simple twist added a refreshing pop that took the whole dish to a new level.

Getting to sit down and enjoy a home-cooked dinner and not have it be an all-day investment of time makes this dish perfect for a weeknight. Its rich and creamy sauce goes perfectly with the fresh asparagus and the lemon gives it the perfect zing. We like to serve this over some skinny egg noodles, to soak up the creamy and delicious sauce.
