Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz each)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a dish or bag, pour marinade over, and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high (400°F). Oil the grates. Grill chicken 6 to 7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with extra lemon and fresh parsley.

Notes

The 30-minute marinade gives a light herb and lemon flavor; longer marination deepens it. If the exterior browns too quickly before the center is done, move the chicken to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking gently.
