Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leave or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients. 2. Pour over lamb, beef, poultry, or fish, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this marinade.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor won't be as intense.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it cooks: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Greek chicken marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your chicken taste like it came from a Greek restaurant. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy way to cook chicken, give Greek chicken marinade a try.
