Wanna Be Greek Grilled Chicken Breasts image

Super easy, flavourful and tender, with a souvlaki-ish taste. This is best done on the grill, but I've also baked this in the oven on a rack in the winter. Or use a Foreman grill if you have one. Serve with a greek salad and lemon roasted potatoes. From the "Friends of Hope" Cookbook...fundraiser for breast cancer care.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons liquid honey
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Add a small amount of buttermilk to the honey and whisk until smooth, then add the remaining marinade ingredients. Whisk to combine.
  • Place chicken breasts in a zipper bag, pour marinade over and seal, turning to coat.
  • Refrigerate 4-8 hours, turning occasionally. A longer marinating time will yield a more tender and flavourful result.
  • Grill on medium setting until no longer pink.
  • Note: You don't need a pool of marinade around the chicken but if it seems scant add bit more buttermilk.
  • If you like a fuller lemon flavour use the juice of a whole lemon. I've also left out the lemon totally when I didn't have one, still a great taste.
  • Cooking time is approximate, it depends on which method you use. You could also cut up the chicken and skewer -- reduce marinade and cook times.
