GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHIPPED FETA



Grilled Greek Chicken Breasts with Whipped Feta image

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.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup olive oil
1 drizzle olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
8 ounces feta cheese
1 teaspoon finely crushed garlic, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest

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.

Super easy, flavourful and tender, with a souvlaki-ish taste. This is best done on the grill, but I've also baked this in the oven on a rack in the winter. Or use a Foreman grill if you have one. Serve with a greek salad and lemon roasted potatoes. From the "Friends of Hope" Cookbook...fundraiser for breast cancer care.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons liquid honey
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

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.
