Princess Eliana, the heroine of The Girl Who Broke the Dark, hails from the country of Ymittos, which was roughly Greek-inspired. She doesn’t get to spend much time at home once the story gets started, but she did have some moments of longing to return. And one thing she misses is the food. Here’s her favorite grilled chicken recipe.
Cut 2 pounds of chicken into 1.5 inch pieces
Whisk together:
½ cup Greek yogurt
4 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
3 T lemon juice
2 T red wine vinegar
1 ½ tsp oregano
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp each paprika, black pepper, parsley, thyme and coriander
Marinate chicken 1-4 hours, then put it
on skewers. Oil the grill, and cook ten minutes over medium high heat, turning several times to so it cooks evenly. Enjoy!
