The Best Greek Chicken
This Best Greek Chicken recipe features a Mediterranean-inspired marinade that is packed with herbs that lend a savory flavor along with lemon to brighten things up! The result is super tender, flavorful Greek chicken that you will make again and again!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- extra lemon juice for serving
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large ziplock bag. Toss to coat the chicken and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- When you are ready, remove the chicken from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature (about 15 minutes)
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.Add in the chicken and cook 4 minutes on each side depending on thickness or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees!
- Remove the chicken from then pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Squeeze some more lemon juice on top, slice and serve!
Notes
Marinade chicken for at least 30 minutes. I like to leave it for about 1-2 hours to really get nice and flavorful! If making ahead, let it marinate overnight in the fridge!
Allow the chicken to rest a bit before diving in! I like to let it rest at least 5 minutes. This helps the juices inside to settle so they won't come pouring out when you slice into it.
