This Chicken Zorba recipe is my nephew’s favorite dinner. It’s a recipe from a Sainsbury’s card from the early ’90s. I have to say, I understand why it’s his favorite dinner. The chicken is so tender (due to marinating it overnight) and flavorful. Also, the hummus and Greek yogurt mixture is heaven!

I have the print out of sainsburys original recipe. It was published in 1995 and called Grecian Chicken. My family loves it and we have had it often over the years. I was so glad to find it online from Leslie Blythe (even though now called chicken Zorba as I had mislaid my copy (now grease splattered and on yellowing paper) and wanted to make for dinner tonight. Thank you Leslie’s nephew
