Ingredients

Chicken Breast: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 300g total)

Olive Oil: 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Lemon Juice: 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Garlic: 2 cloves, minced

Dried Oregano: 1 tsp

Dried Thyme: 1/2 tsp

Dried Rosemary: 1/4 tsp, crushed

Salt: 1/2 tsp, or to taste

Black Pepper: 1/4 tsp, or to taste

Feta Cheese: 50g, crumbled (optional, but highly recommended)

Kalamata Olives: 20g, pitted and sliced (optional)

Fresh Parsley: 1 tbsp, chopped (for garnish)

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade is crucial for infusing the chicken with authentic Greek taste.

    2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful the chicken will be.

    3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking, which can lead to dry chicken.

    4. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving whole. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken breast.

      Pro Tip:

      For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Alternatively, instead of grilling or pan-frying, the chicken can be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Baking helps retain moisture.

      Servings & Cook Time

      Servings: 2

      Prep Time: 10 minutes

      Marinating Time: 30 minutes - 4 hours

      Cook Time: 10-14 minutes

      Serving Suggestions

      The Original Greek Chicken Breast is incredibly versatile. It can be served as a main course with a side of cauliflower rice or a Greek salad (hold the tomatoes for a keto version). Alternatively, slice the chicken and add it to a keto-friendly wrap or salad. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley for an authentic Greek presentation. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil for added flavor and richness. The creamy feta and salty olives complement the zesty chicken beautifully. Consider serving with a side oftzatzikisauce made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, and garlic for a truly complete meal.

      Plating Tip: Arrange the sliced chicken on a bed of greens, sprinkle with feta and olives, and drizzle with olive oil. The vibrant colors and textures create an appealing dish that is as visually pleasing as it is delicious.
