We recently teamed up with author, mum of four and Substack best-seller - Eleanor Cripps, for some dinner party inspiration. We’ve got you covered for the next balmy evening outside with your loved ones. Enjoy this simple, luxurious marinade for chicken that’s succulent, juicy and deeply herbaceous.

And what’s a dinner soiree without some playful Sage x Clare table decor? The beauty of a table is not just in the food, but in the details… AND colour AND texture.

Eleanor Cripp’s delicious chicken marinade

Serves: about 4-5

1 cup natural Greek yoghurt
1 tsp minced garlic
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
3 large chicken breasts sliced into pieces*
grilled lemons
freshly sliced Italian parsley

In a bowl, stir together 1 cup natural Greek yoghurt, 1 tsp minced garlic, 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp runny honey, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper. Coat your chicken in the marinade and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

I used about 3 large chicken breasts sliced into pieces, *however you can use this recipe for all cuts of chicken.

To cook, grill on a BBQ or or hot plate if you have one. Alternatively, the chicken can be roasted in the oven.

Serve with grilled lemons for drizzling and a scattering of freshly sliced Italian parsley.
