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.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

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.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 -4 tablespoons oil (more if needed)
1 small onion, finely chopped (or use 3 shallots, chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (optional)
2 -4 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 -2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional or to taste)
4 chicken thighs (with leg attached, or use chicken breasts with skin on)
salt and pepper
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes (can use a bit more than 2 cups)
1/2 cup dry white wine (if using chicken broth use 1 cup) or 1/2 cup chicken broth (if using chicken broth use 1 cup)
1 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup kalamata olive (or to taste)

Steps:

Heat oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat (I use my electric skillet for this).
Add in onions or shallots, garlic (if using) red pepper flakes (if using) oregano and basil; saute for about 5 minutes.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add in the chicken, skin side down to the skillet; brown to 5 minutes.
Turn the chicken over with tongs and add in the crushed tomatoes and wine (or broth if using) bring to a simmer; cover the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through (about 25 minutes).
Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Boil the sauce over high heat for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Mix in cheese and olives and simmer until heated through (about 5-6 minutes).
Serve with hot cooked noodles.

Tips:

Use a good quality chicken broth. This is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a broth that is flavorful and rich. You can make your own chicken broth or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices will help to flavor your soup and make it more interesting. Some good options include oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make Greek chicken soup. Feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

Greek chicken soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any time of year. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give Greek chicken soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
