Lemon Matcha Chicken with Yogurt Cilantro Sauce
Posted by in Food
Matcha (a green tea powder) and lemon olive oil gives the chicken a very laid back vibe in this dish. Cooling yogurt sauce and rice pair perfectly with it. If you don’t have lemon olive oil, use regular olive oil with a teaspoon of lemon juice for each tablespoon of oil.

It was really delicious and it was such a pretty green color while marinating.
