Categories     Appetizers

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup sour cream (decrease by 1/4 c. for dressing)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt*)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried dill or 1 teaspoon fresh (optional)
⅓ to ½ cup buttermilk
¾ to 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or to taste- more is better)

Steps:

  • Combine sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and all ingredients except buttermilk and feta in a pint jar or quart sized bowl and mix well.
  • Add the buttermilk slowly, stirring until desired thickness is reached (see note to thin for a dressing). Fold in the feta. If using a bowl, transfer to a jar with a lid.
  • Refrigerate one or more hours before using, and taste to adjust seasonings again.
  • Shake well before each use. This tends to get thinner as it sits in the fridge- I just add a bit more sour cream, salt & pepper if I'd like it thicker.

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.

Categories     BBQ & Grilled Chicken Breasts

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.
