Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 127 grams
- 1/3 cup olive oil 2.5 ounces
- Juice of 2 lemons 2.5 ounces
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- dash salt & pepper
- 1.3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts two fileted breasts (or thin sliced)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, dill, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the filleted chicken breasts and turn them so that the marinade coats them.
- Cover and refrigerate, allowing the chicken breasts to marinate for at least 2 hours, but up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the grill to 400ºF.
- Once the grill is heated, place the chicken on the hot grill grates. Allow the chicken to cook for about 5 minutes, then turn to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165ºF). The exact timing will depend on how thick the chicken breasts are, so be sure to check the internal temperature.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
