Cucumber Sauce (recipe follows)

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side.

1 tsp salt
1/2 cup skim milk yogurt
1/2 cup light mayonnaise

In a strainer mix cucumber and salt and set aside for at least 15 minutes. Squeeze extra liquid from cucumber. Blend grated cucumber with remaining ingredients and refridgerate until needed. Serve with Greek Chicken.
Tip: If you don't have a strainer put cucumber and salt in a double layer of paper coffee filters. Gently squeeze the extra liquid out of the mixture.
