Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Marinade
- In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
- 2. Marinate the Chicken
- Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least one hour (overnight for best flavor).
- 3. Preheat Your Grill
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If using the oven, lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- 4. Cook the Chicken
- For grilling: Cook marinated chicken on the grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- For baking: Place in the prepared baking dish and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
- 5. Rest Before Serving
- Let the chicken rest for about five minutes before slicing to retain juiciness.
- 6. Serve!
- Serve on plates with any remaining marinade drizzled on top alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
