Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup prepared falafel mix
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, tenders removed (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
3 Kirby cucumbers, diced
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds, coarsely chopped
1/4 red onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Game plan: Make the salad while the chicken bakes.
  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a small rack on a baking sheet.
  • Put the falafel mix in a pie plate or other shallow bowl. Heat about 1/2-inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, to taste, and coat with the falafel mix, shaking off any excess. Carefully place the chicken smooth side down in the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Cook until nicely browned, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Transfer the chicken to the prepared rack. Bake until firm but slightly springy when pressed, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the Yogurt Salad: Toss the mint, cucumbers, dill, onion, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Finely grate the zest from the lemon into the salad and squeeze in the lemon's juice too. Stir the yogurt into the salad.
  • Arrange chicken on a platter and serve with salad or put a chicken breast on each of 4 plates with the salad.

I love this recipe because it's so easy to make. I can have it on the table in under 30 minutes. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make for dinner parties. It's always a hit with my guests. The chicken is always perfectly cooked and the yogurt salad is always a crowd-pleaser.

I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken, and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The chicken is so flavorful and juicy, and the yogurt salad is a great way to add some freshness to the dish.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the yogurt salad was a great complement.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it turned out great! The yogurt salad is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of falafel, but this recipe changed my mind! The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the yogurt salad is a great way to balance out the flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but the yogurt salad was delicious. I would probably try a different chicken recipe next time.
