Juicy grilled chicken marinated in tangy Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for a tender, flavorful Mediterranean-style dish. Perfect for serving with salad, rice, pita, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
