Greek Chicken Marinade

This Greek Chicken Marinade is perfect for making tender, juicy Greek flavored chicken on the grill, in a skillet, or in the baked oven. With only a few simple ingredients it packs the chicken full of flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. We love it on it’s own, or in salads, wraps, and gyros!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh
  • 2 tbsp Greek seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make marinade, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, greek seasoning, and garlic.
  2. Poke chicken all over with a fork. Place the chicken in a dish or zip top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken to cover completely. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, with a minimum of 30 minutes.
  3. Heat the grill to medium heat and brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Cook to an internal temperature of 165˚F.
  4. Once done, remove chicken from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then serve warm. Enjoy!
