Tender marinated chicken, perfect for enjoying all the Mediterranean flavors,pefect for bowls, wraps, salads and more.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1 tablespoon oil, avocado or olive
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken into a large bowl.
- Add all the ingredients to the top of the chicken.
- Wear gloves or use tongs and mix until all the chicken is well coated.
- Place into a zipper bag or container with lid and refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
- This chicken can be baked or grilled.
- Preheat oven (or grill )to 400°
- Place chicken onto a baking sheet and bake until 165°, turning once. Chicken thighs don't dry out easily so cook them until desired doneness. I like a little char/browning on the chicken, you can broil it for a few minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven (or grill) and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
