Ingredients That Bring the Magic

Here’s what you’ll need for your Mediterranean moment:

2 (5.3 oz) containers plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp dried oregano
4–5 garlic cloves, finely minced
Kosher salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
1½ lbs chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Cooking oil (olive oil works great!)
1 red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
Optional but delightful: Fresh basil, crumbled feta cheese

Let’s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step Instructions

Make That Flavor-Packed Marinade
In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. It should be creamy and fragrant—like the start of something delicious (because it is).
Marinate the Chicken
Pop your chicken pieces into a bowl or plastic bag and coat them with a few big spoonfuls of the yogurt marinade. Give it a good massage (yes, even chicken deserves a spa moment), and let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Save the rest of the sauce—you’ll want it for dipping later.
Fire Up the Blackstone
Preheat your griddle to medium heat. Drizzle on some cooking oil and toss on the marinated chicken, onions, and peppers. Add another sprinkle of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you’re feeling spicy.
Sizzle and Stir
Let everything cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping and stirring with those handy hibachi spatulas every couple of minutes. You want the chicken to be golden and cooked through, and the veggies to be slightly charred and tender.
Serve It Up!
Sprinkle with chopped basil or feta if you’re feeling fancy, and serve hot with the extra yogurt sauce on the side. Pita bread or rice make great companions here!

Pro Tips from My Kitchen to Yours

Time Saver: Forgot to marinate overnight? Even 30 minutes will still give you a flavorful boost.
Pepper Swap: No red bell? Use whatever color you’ve got in the crisper. Yellow and orange work just as well.
Double Duty: That leftover yogurt sauce? It’s dreamy on wraps, sandwiches, or even as a veggie dip later in the week.

And just between us—don’t stress if your sauce isn’t Instagram-pretty. Lumpy? Chunky? Still delicious.

FAQs About Blackstone Greek Chicken and Peppers

Can I substitute chicken thighs with breasts?

Absolutely! Both work well—just be careful not to overcook the breasts, since they dry out faster than thighs.

How do I store leftovers?

Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 3 days and are amazing reheated in a skillet or microwave.

What can I serve this with?

Rice, warm pita, a crisp cucumber salad, or even roasted potatoes. You’ve got options, friend!

Can I make this without a Blackstone griddle?

Yes! A large cast iron skillet or grill pan will work just fine—just make sure it’s nice and hot.
