Transform chicken thighs into Mediterranean magic! Marinate in Greek yogurt, spices, and citrus for a burst of flavor in every bite! I couldn’t find a recipe for this that I liked, so I used what I had in the house and came up with this deliciousness.  I love using Greek yogurt to marinade chicken, Greek as it contains natural enzymes and acids, like lactic acid, which work as meat tenderizers. These components break down the proteins in the chicken, resulting in a tender texture. Additionally, yogurt helps to keep the chicken moist during cooking, ensuring a juicy and flavorful outcome. Yum!

For this recipe, I used my Food Chopper, Garlic Prep Tool and one of my favorite pans, the 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet:

Food Chopper

Tear-Free Onion Chopping

Say goodbye to onion chopping with tears in your eyes! With the Food Chopper, you can quickly chop veggies, cooked meat, nuts, and more.

It uses a unique stainless-steel blade that rotates every time you press it, delivering consistent cutting results with every use. The plunger has a soft top to make chopping food comfortable, and the flexible cap doubles as a storage cover and ideal prep surface for small quantities.

Not sure how much more chopping is needed? The clear collar lets you see your chopping progress in real time, so you always have visibility of the diced food. And the more you chop, the finer your ingredients will get. Plus, food stays inside the walled design while you cut onto the flexible cap or a cutting board, letting you avoid the mess—and the tears!

Garlic Prep Tool

Prep Garlic Your Way

Sliced and diced garlic, and everything in between can change the final flavor and intensity in your meals. Get the perfect prep every time with this versatile garlic prep tool. Roll your garlic clove in the helpful peeler to get rid of its skin, then slice, dice, or paste all with the same tool. Clean the blades easily with the included brush and cleaning plates perfect for removing leftover garlic bits—and the whole tool is dishwasher-safe!

Sliced: When you slice garlic, you’ll get a mild flavor in a dish. Great for sautés and stir fries. You’ll get some bites of fresh garlic and will see it throughout the dish.

Diced: Fairly strong flavor. Great for chili, pasta sauce, or soup when they are simmered for a while.

Pressed: Pressed garlic provides a bold, intense garlic taste to a dish. Great for salad dressings, soups, sauces, marinades, and dips. It distributes easily into dishes.

Paste: Garlic paste is the strongest form of garlic flavor since the entire clove has been broken down. Soups and cooked sauces.
