Tips and Variations

If you don’t have cream cheese, you can add a little bit of milk to the yoghurt for a thinner sauce.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasonings for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

You can use other types of mustard, such as Dijon or whole grain, depending on your preference.

Add other herbs to the sauce, such as dill, or chives.

Serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.
