Delicious Grilled Greek Chicken Recipe for a Healthy Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (dried)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and salt. Mix well.

    For best flavor, marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.

    Ensure the grill is hot for perfect sear marks.
  3. Grill the Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on the grill.

    Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
  4. Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

    Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve with your favorite sides like a Greek salad or pita bread.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
