7:03 am
>> reporter: good morning to you, george. as more children are heading into those summer camps and as more families are traveling this summer, the cdc here in atlanta is trying to get the message to parents that, if your child a eligible for a vaccine, you should get that child vaccinated. to make their point clearly and underline the need for more teenagers to get vaccinated health officials at the cdc this morning are releasing a new report today on children who get sick with the coronavirus and the cdc director is already calling the new information troubling. the scientists are warning parents this morning that in the month leading up to the pfizer vaccine's authorization for use with children 12 and up, the cdc observed troubling data about adolescents who got sick with covid-19 and had to be hospitalized. >> more concerning were the number of adolescents admitted to the hospital who required treatment in the intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation. >> reporter: they're concerned that a significant number of teenagers who get sick enough to be hospitalized are ending up in the icu.

[ speaking foreign language ] good morning, america. so, of course, we have the best chicken. i didn't bring it from greece but it's organic, always choose organic chicken. i marinated it with yogurt but
8:32 am
you can marinate it with lemon juice and olive oil. that's the easiest thing and add oregano. make sure the greek oregano is from the markets in greece and add a touch of tomato paste. i'm giving you all my secrets, come on, you know. >> chef, tell us why you like to use yogurt as the marinade. >> yogurt for me is the best marinade because it breaks through the tissue of any protein you want to cook and it tenderizes. that's why i like it. but don't use any yogurt. no 0%. use the real greek yogurt that is made only with milk and cultures and is strained. it's the best. >> once the chicken is marinated, how do you get the grill ready for it?
8:33 am
>> that was what i was doing before. see? yes, of course, everything is greek. you know that. there's my flag. you just go on the top over here and you even in your pan. i don't like it. but i have very good friends and they give me their grill any time i want. so we can do another one. they're amazing. that's it. it's like a filter between your chicken and the grill. that's the way to do it. make sure it is very clean. let me move this over here and show you, see, my chicken is here with that. [speaking foreign language] that's rosemary in greek. oh, it smells already so good and then we just put it on the grill. that's all. i'll put two pieces because i
8:34 am
have already, you know, for you. so and then i'll give you another secret. this is how we used to do with my grandmother and my grandfather. my mother didn't cook. you know, she didn't have time. i'm a farm girl. i come like they say from the dirt today, you know, i am there. i know how to do this. that's why i use the real orega oregano. don't use a brush. you just go like this. that's it. see how nice and you get all this olive oil and the oregano. >> we can almost smell it here. tell us about the salad you're serving with it. traditional greek salad which is a lot of people don't know doesn't include lettuce. >> no, that's -- that was old time, george. you know, here, my greek salad has tomato, cucumber, red onion, make sure that the pepper is green. that's a real greek salad and olives come from kalamata but
8:35 am
not that feta that you see that white cheese. please don't do that. [ laughter ] >> maria, it's always fun to have you. thanks for joining us and thank you for sharing this recipe. >> here's the real plate, you know. that's the plate, see. you may see, george. here, let me show you. here. >> it looks great. >> okay. >> there we go. >> that looks delicious. >> thank you, maria. get the recipe on our website, goodmorningamerica.com and see more of her on her pbs' facebook and food channel, "the life of maria loi." when we come back, be
