What You Need:
- Chicken Breast
- Garlic
- Lemon Zest
- Lemon Juice
- Fresh Oregano
- Fresh Thyme
- Salt & Pepper
- Avocado Oil

Let’s Make Greek Chicken:
- Add the garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and oil in a bowl and stir to combine
- Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish or in a sealable bag and pour the marinade over top. Move the chicken around to make sure it gets completely coated
- Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours (in a sealed container in the fridge) before cooking
- When ready to cook, take chicken out of the marinade and gently pat with paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper and cook with your desired method – internal temp should be 165′
- Preheat grill to 425′. Once grill is hot, grill the chicken for about 7-9 minutes per side. The time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breast. Remove from grill when the internal temperature reads 155-160 and let rest on a plate covered with foil. This will bring the temperature up to 165′ and will keep the chicken nice and juicy
- Preheat oven to 375′. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add in cooking oil of choice. Sear the chicken on both sides for 2-3 minutes and then transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven. Cook an additional 10-15 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Internal temperature needs to read 165′
