My friend Erin K. sent this recipe and told me I would like it and you know what? She was right. This chicken was a big success last night. How could chicken marinated in fresh herbs and other amazing things then grilled then topped with cheese and onions not be delicious?!
greek chicken (my friend Erin K. found this at allrecipes.com)
1 (8 ounce) container fat-free plain yogurt
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
zest from 1 lemon
juice from 1 lemon
3 teaspoons dried oregano
2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
5 large chicken breasts
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
red onion, optional
kalamata olives, optional
In a large ziploc, mix the yogurt, basil, tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary. Place the chicken in a bag and turn to coat. Marinate 3 (+ hours) (great for Sunday!) in the refrigerator. Grill until juices are clear, basting with marinade. Top with feta and garnish with red onion and kalamata olives if desired.
Do you keep the tomato bits from the marinade? I want those bits on the chicken...or do they fall off during grilling? Shannon
ReplyDeleteThey do fall off or get stuck on the grill but they definitely add to flavor. I forgot to spray the grill before I fired it up so maybe that was the problem.
