Wanna Be Greek Grilled Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and oregano in large plastic food storage bag.
• Pierce chicken with fork several times and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add to bag and coat with dressing, marinate 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from bag.
• Grill or broil 6 minutes per side.
• Or, cook in a grill pan over medium-high heat, 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Steps:

• Whisk garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
• Make 2 slashes on the skin side down to the bone in the thigh section and 1 in the leg section of each leg quarter. This will help infuse pieces with marinade and allow faster cooking on the grill. Season both sides of chicken generously with kosher salt. Transfer to bowl with marinade and thoroughly coat all sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 12 hours.
• Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined sheet pan to drain slightly.
• Place leg quarters on grill skin side down over semi-direct heat (avoid intense direct heat so chicken cooks evenly and skin doesn't burn). Cook 6 or 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Add a small amount of buttermilk to the honey and whisk until smooth, then add the remaining marinade ingredients. Whisk to combine.
• Place chicken breasts in a zipper bag, pour marinade over and seal, turning to coat.
• Refrigerate 4-8 hours, turning occasionally. A longer marinating time will yield a more tender and flavourful result.
• Grill on medium setting until no longer pink.
• Note: You don't need a pool of marinade around the chicken but if it seems scant add bit more buttermilk.
• If you like a fuller lemon flavour use the juice of a whole lemon. I've also left out the lemon totally when I didn't have one, still a great taste.
• Cooking time is approximate, it depends on which method you use. You could also cut up the chicken and skewer -- reduce marinade and cook times.

Steps:

• Cut 3 slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika for about 30 seconds. Place chicken in a large bowl, and pour marinade over. Using your hands, work marinade into chicken. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cook chicken on grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup dressing over chicken in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides of each chicken breast. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165°F). Cool slightly.
• Slice chicken. Place salad greens in large bowl. Top with chicken and remaining ingredients. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
