Mediterranean Chicken Marinade
Report
Don’t let the simplicity of my Mediterranean chicken marinade fool you. Packed with citrus, herbs, and olive oil, it's big on flavor!

Ingredients
- 2-3 lemon juice only, plural
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup mint fresh
- 1/4 cup oregano fresh
- 1/4 cup dill fresh
- 1/4 cup parsley fresh
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Juice lemons to make 1/3 cup and transfer to a small bowl.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves to make 1 tablespoon, add to bowl.
- Finely chop the herbs and add to bowl with olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt. Whisk the marinade ingredients and scoop out 1/4 cup for basting chicken.
- Pour remaining marinade over chicken in a plastic resealable bag. Squeeze the air out of bag and seal. Massage chicken with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature for minimum 30 minutes. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Notes
- For 1.5 - 2lbs chicken:
- Heat your grill (350°F) or grill pan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add chicken to cook.
- For entire breasts, grill 2 minutes then move a quarter turn to create crosshatch grill marks and grill 2 more minutes. Baste with reserved marinade. Turn over repeat grilling to create grill marks and baste again before taking out of pan.
- For really thick breasts: if sliced horizontally, cuts grilling time on each side down 2 minutes total SO 2 minutes each side, 4 minutes total time. Thighs 4 minutes each side. Allow to rest 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with warm pitas and Greek Feta Salad.
