Description
Succulent chicken marinated in Greek yogurt with vibrant herbs and zesty lemon, grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
- Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the marinade and always use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
