This Greek-inspired chicken marinade features a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, fresh dill, and zesty lemon. Perfect for grilling or pan-searing, it delivers a burst of Mediterranean flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1⅓ cups Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp dill finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Slice the the chicken breasts into strips (if desired) and place in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Massage marinade into chicken.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to marinate the chicken.
- When you're ready to cook, preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
