GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHIPPED FETA
I'm showing you my favorite marinade and grilling technique for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which can be a challenge, since they're often so dry and bland, but not with this method. Plus, I'm showing you how to make my new favorite thing to eat, which is whipped feta. Serve with grilled red onion and red bell pepper if you like, and garnish with Greek olives.

Steps:
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
- Combine red wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and garlic powder in a bowl. Add chicken and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated. Pour in ¼ cup olive oil and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 12 hours, but 2 to 3 hours is ideal.
- Place Greek yogurt in another bowl and crumble in feta cheese. Add garlic, mint, and lemon zest and whip with an electric hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust as needed. Refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat a charcoal grill until coals are white and very hot.
- Grill chicken over the hot coals for about 4 minutes per side; continue to flip and grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each piece reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.
- Spread whipped feta onto a serving platter or plate and place chicken over top. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley and mint and serve.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FETA AND FIGS
Cooked figs go beautifully with meat, especially a griddled or pan-cooked chicken breast. I always seem to circle back to feta when I'm working with figs in a savory dish. I love the flavor of the earthy, salty cheese against the subtle, sweet fruit.

Steps:
- One at a time, place each chicken breast between pieces of plastic wrap or parchment and lightly pound with a mallet until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Chicken breasts should be of uniform thickness.
- Place chicken breasts in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss with rosemary, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Place oven on lowest setting, around 200 degrees. Cook the chicken: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Add remaining olive oil to pan and reduce heat to medium-high. Turn over chicken breasts in marinade to coat them, then add them to the pan, rounded side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until cooked halfway through.
- Turn chicken breasts over and carefully arrange feta on top, dividing it equally among the 4 breasts. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves over feta on each breast. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, until breasts are cooked through. Feta will warm but will not melt. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep in warm oven while you cook the figs.
- Add wine to pan and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom. Boil wine until it has reduced by half, then add figs, honey and remaining thyme. Cook, stirring, until figs break down and begin to look jammy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Serve chicken breasts with fig compote on side and garnish with rosemary sprigs.

Steps:
- Pound the breasts flat to app. 1/2 thickness. Lightly salt and pepper each size. Place on hot grill for about 3 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked through. The topping: Drain the tomatoes and reserve the oil. Add tomatoes garlic and salt to a food processor and pulse until combined into a paste. Add 1 - 2 tbsp of reserved oil until the mixture forms a thick paste like texture. Remove mixture into a medium size bowl. Gently fold Feta cheese and basil until well combined. Spread a generous coat on the grilled breast and serve. Alternately you can place the topped chicken in a warmed oven (300 degrees)for a few minutes to heat up and melt the topping slightly. Other herbs can be substituted as well. I have tried both cilantro and rosemary with great results!

- In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper until combined. Add the chicken thighs and toss thoroughly to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours or overnight, and up to 24 hours.
- Make the whipped feta. In a food processor, combine the feta, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse 10-15 times, then scrape down the sides. Run the food processor for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until feta is smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Once ready to grill, take the chicken out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to take the chill off. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken with the lid closed for 4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear, and the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165℉.
- Spread the whipped feta on a platter, and serve the chicken over top. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh herbs, and arrange the lemon wedges and sliced tomatoes alongside. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt. Serve!
