  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 48 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Lemon & Garlic Greek Marinated Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Your Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat to medium-high. If opting for the oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Cook the Chicken:
Grilling: Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Oven Baking: Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Allow the cooked chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes. This step helps retain the juices.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and flavor.
8. Slice and Serve: Cut the chicken into slices prior to serving, if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating your Lemon & Garlic Greek Marinated Chicken effortlessly, ensuring it turns out delicious every time.
