Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, juice and zest of lemon, minced rosemary, and salt. Whisk until creamy and well-blended.
Butterfly or pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Place between plastic wrap and gently pound to about ½ inch.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, reserving half for basting later. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat grill to 400°F for about 10-15 minutes. Clean and lightly oil the grates.
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
Slice and serve warm, drizzling with reserved marinade if desired.
