Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 lemons juiced
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons fresh Rosemary chopped
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except for the chicken. Mix well to combine.
- Add the chicken to the bowl and make sure that it’s covered with the marinade. Marinade the chicken for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Then preheat your grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Rub oil on the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill. Place the chicken directly on the grill grate and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Then the chicken is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes
