Experience the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine with this easy Greek chicken marinade. Perfect for grilling, baking, or pan-searing, it promises juicy, tender chicken infused with zesty goodness.

  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Coat chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
  4. Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and juices run clear (or roast at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through).
  5. Let rest for five minutes before slicing. Serve with fresh veggies or warm pita bread.
