Greek Chicken
Here I present a recipe for traditional Greek Chicken that’s grilled after marinating in lemon juice and tons of fresh garlic, herbs and spices 🙂
In high school one of the electives I chose was cooking or Food Nutrition or whatever it was called… it was many, many, many moons ago 🤣
In this course we had to work in groups and highlight a country’s cuisine of our choice. We chose Greece and we made spanakopita. What does this have to do with Greek Chicken?
It’s Greek
Now when I think of Greek food, I’m sorry to say, I think of food court food.
I said I’m sorry!
That rice and salad and potatoes and souvlaki and tzatziki… yum!
I haven’t had food court Greek food in a very long time but it will forever hold a special place in my heart ♥️
This is how you make it
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper and finally garlic, in a deep dish .
Add in the chicken breasts and marinate the meat for 1-2 hours (covered and in the fridge).
Then follow my Guide to the Ultimate Grilled Chicken [4].
Enjoy!
