Marinade
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin 
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1. In a small bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a plastic bag and pour marinade over the top. Shake to coat and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
2. Grill chicken on a pre-heated BBQ, on medium high heat, closing the lid to the BBQ, until all sides have nice grill marks, about 8 minutes each side.

Tzatziki

• 1 cucumber (to make about ½ - ¾ cup grated cucumber after squeezing out juice)
• 1¼ cups plain  yogurt
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar 
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or more if you want richer)
• ½ garlic clove, minced
• 2 tsp dill
• ½ tsp salt

1. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape the watery seeds out. Coarsely grate the cucumber using a box grater. Then wrap in paper towels or a tea towel and squeeze to remove excess liquid.
2. Place cucumber in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients then mix to combine. Set aside for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.
