Course: Entree
Cuisine: Greek
Servings: 4
Author: The Frugal Girls

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. thin sliced or flattened Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Fage Total Greek Yogurt plain
  • 1 Lemon zested and juiced
  • 4 cloves of Garlic peeled & minced
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper

Instructions

  • In small mixing bowl, combine ingredients and stir well.
  • Add mixture and chicken to Freezer Ziploc Bag.
  • Place in the refrigerator to marinate for several hours or overnight, turning and flipping several times.
  • When ready for dinner {after several hours of marinating, or up to a day later}, remove chicken from the bag, and toss the marinade out.
  • Grill your chicken on the grill outside {8 minutes on each side at 400 degrees}, or on a grill pan inside.
  • If you’re not ready to cook it yet… after adding the chicken and marinade to the bag, place directly in the freezer for some pre-marinated chicken later! {just pull out of the freezer, and defrost in the fridge… letting all of the yummy flavors soak into the chicken} prior to cooking.
  • Serve drizzled with this Easy Greek Tzatziki Sauce Recipe in a Pita, or with a side of rice.

Notes

To flatten your chicken breast to an even thickness, simply place it between two large pieces of plastic wrap.  Then using the flat side of a meat mallet or tenderizer, gently pound your chicken breast, starting in the middle.
