Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
Instructions
- 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and dried oregano to create the marinade.
- 2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- 3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
- 4. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
- 5. Slice the chicken and serve it over a bed of cooked quinoa and your choice of fresh vegetables, such as spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
