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

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.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dip.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of yogurt. Greek yogurt is a classic choice, but you could also try using plain yogurt, kefir, or even sour cream.
If you don't have zaatar, you can make your own by combining equal parts dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, and sumac. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Serve your dip with a variety of dippers, such as pita bread, crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
If you're making the dip ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Greek feta yogurt dip with zaatar is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even a light meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of Greek food or just looking for a new dip to try, this recipe is sure to please.
