While the chicken is grilling, prepare the spicy garlic yogurt sauce by mixing 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
