This Greek Yogurt Chicken recipe combines the tangy flavors of Greek yogurt, lemon, and Mediterranean herbs to create a juicy and flavorful dish. The addition of melted feta cheese adds a creamy and savory element that complements the grilled chicken perfectly.
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1 cup Greek yogurt. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 lemon, juiced. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the yogurt marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it on the grill or in the oven. Grill or bake the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C and the chicken is cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crumbled feta cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to melt and slightly brown. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill or oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the melted feta cheese over the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve your delicious Greek Yogurt Chicken hot.
