Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts or boneless thighs
  • 1 Mediterranean Chicken Marinade
  • Greek Feta Salad ((optional))

Instruction:

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients and scoop out 1/4 cup to baste chicken. Pour remaining marinade over chicken in a plastic resealable bag. Squeeze the air out of bag and seal. Massage chicken with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat your grill (350°F) or grill pan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add chicken to cook.
  3. For entire breasts, grill 2 minutes then move a quarter turn to create crosshatch grill marks and grill 2 more minutes. Baste with reserved marinade. Turn over repeat grilling to create grill marks and baste again before taking out of pan.
  4. For really thick breasts: if sliced horizontally, cuts grilling time on each side down 2 minutes total SO 2 minutes each side, 4 minutes total time. Thighs 4 minutes each side. Allow to rest 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with a salad or over rice.

Try a full red snapper, or for something more low-key, go grilled shrimp, spicy hot shot salmon fillets, or even grilled scallops.
