Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large lemons (juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 7-8 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken during the last few minutes on the grill to melt slightly.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm, paired with a Greek salad or roasted vegetables.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. This dish is low in carbs and can be adapted with different herbs.
