Chicken with Greek Yogurt Sauce

Chicken with Greek Yogurt Sauce

Chicken with Greek Yogurt Sauce is one of my all time favorite chicken dinners.  It is creamy, bright, fresh, bold and tangy thanks to the Greek yogurt sauce.  I get so excited in Spring when I see green garlic at the Farmer's Market, it pairs absolutely lovely with this chicken.
