Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs chicken thigh about 4, boneless, skinless
- ½ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and zest
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Heat a grill or grill pan. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until you have grill marks on both sides and the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. You want the internal chicken temperature to be 165F.
- Enjoy chicken immediately served with fresh parsley or let cool, package in storage containers and save for later use.
