Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, ground black pepper, basil, dill and thyme.
  • Toss chicken with mixture until thoroughly and evenly coated.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let chicken marinate at least 30 minutes and up to two hours.
  • Preheat grill to medium high or oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare grill by lightly oiling the grates or oiling the grill pan over stop top.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard remaining marinade. Place chicken breasts on hot grill grates, cover lid and grill for 5 minutes.
  • Flip chicken over and allow to grill for 5-7 minutes longer or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove chicken from grill, tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store leftover Greek chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze cooked chicken on a baking sheet before wrapping individually in plastic wrap and storing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. Reheat Greek marinated chicken breasts in the oven or microwave with a dash of water or broth to keep them moist.
