Instructions

Whisk together all of the Greek Marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag and add chicken. Marinate 4-8 hours.
Remove chicken from fridge and let sit at room temperature 20-30 minutes.

SKILLET DIRECTIONS:

Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, drain chicken from marinade, pat dry and add to skillet.
Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 4-6 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

GRILL DIRECTIONS:

Meanwhile, grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375-450°F.
Grill chicken undisturbed for for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F.) Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
