Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
• ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ¼ cup Fage Total Greek Yogurt (plain)
• 1 Lemon, zested and juiced
• 4 cloves of Garlic, peeled & minced
• ¼ tsp Oregano
• ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions

1. In small mixing bowl, combine ingredients and stir well.
2. Add mixture and chicken to Freezer Ziploc Bag.
3. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for several hours or overnight, turning and flipping several times.
4. 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.
5. Grill your chicken on the grill outside {8 minutes on each side at 400 degrees}, or on a grill pan inside.
6. 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.
