So good! I made for supper the other night and we both loved it. Used regular nonfat yogurt instead of the Greek yogurt/sour cream, but I strained it so that it was good and thick like the Greek kind. Also, I just use cooking spray instead of the olive oil, and Cavender's Greek seasoning is awesome on the chicken, peppers, and onions. Dill is great in the tzaziki sauce, too.
