Greek Chicken Marinade

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Dinner Party, Healthy Recipes, Main Dish, Chicken

 Ingredients List

  • 1/3 cup olive or grapeseed oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

 Directions

1. Mix all of the ingredients, minus the chicken breasts, in a small bowl.

2. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.

****Note: If possible, partially freeze the chicken by placing it in the freezer for about an hour. Partially frozen chicken is much easier to cut.

3. Place chicken pieces into a large Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken and massage chicken to ensure that all of the pieces are coated. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a nice massage? Place the bag of marinated chicken into the fridge for 4-6 hours (or overnight).

******One More Note: You can also freeze this chicken (soaking in the marinade) for a future meal. As the chicken pieces thaw they will marinate in the delicious flavours and make for an easy meal.

4. When chicken has marinated, place the pieces on several large metal skewers. We bought ours at a local appliance store and love how they are angled. This angle helps keep the chicken on the skewer and the metal helps to bring the heat right into the chicken.

5. Grill the chicken on a lightly greased BBQ over medium-high heat, turning the chicken skewers occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

6. Serve with Greek pitas, tzatziki and a fresh Greek salad.
