How to Make Grilled Yogurt Lemon Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
- Pour the marinade into a large shallow baking dish.
- Add 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the dish, ensuring each piece is fully coated in the marinade.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
- Grill the chicken about 6 inches from the heat source for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting frequently with the reserved marinade. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
