Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 8oz each, about 1.5 lbs total
- 1 cup Greek yogurt 2%
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 lemon for juice plus some rind
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise ("butterfly") so they’re thinner.
- Sprinkle chicken breast with some Kosher salt.
- Mix up Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt and oregano in a small bowl.
- Grate in some of the rind from the lemon and then cut the lemon in half and squeeze in all the juice. Stir again.
- Place chicken breasts in large ziplock bag and pour marinade over. Seal the bag and turn to coat.
- Marinade for 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- When ready to cook the chicken, take the chicken out of the bag. Discard the leftover marinade.
- BBQ or grill the chicken breasts on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes per side, turning once until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Serve warm.
Notes
BBQ'd chicken is good for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Discard any unused marinade.
Marinating time notes:
- 4-6 hours minimum
- 8-12 hours seems perfect
- 24 hours maximum (overnight)
