Best Ever Greek Chicken Marinade

Servings: 4

Servings: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to ½" thickness
  • Greek Chicken Marinade: (LARGE BATCH measurements in parenthesis, 3 lb meat)
  • (9 TB) 3 TB olive oil
  • (9 TB) 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • (3 TB) 1 TB balsamic vinegar
  • (3 TB) 1 TB lemon juice
  • (1 TB) 1 tsp dried oregano
  • (½ TB) ½ tsp EACH cumin, dried basil, onion powder, sugar (I used monkfruit), salt
  • (¾ tsp) ¼ tsp EACH pepper, paprika
Steps
  1. Whisk together all of the Greek Marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag and add chicken. Marinate 4 to 8 hours. NOTE: I put it all into the Vitamix (garlic cloves were whole) and blended it up.
  2. Remove chicken from fridge and let sit at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. subheading: SKILLET DIRECTIONS:
  4. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, drain chicken from marinade, pat dry and add to skillet.
  5. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 4 to 6 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. subheading: GRILL DIRECTIONS:
  7. Meanwhile, grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375 to 450°F.
  8. Grill chicken undisturbed for for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F.) Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
