Yogurt Marinated Chicken
This easy yogurt marinated chicken recipe can be made with chicken thighs (or breasts). They’re soaked in a creamy and flavorful Greek yogurt marinade and turn out so juicy and moist.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs about 4
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice + zest
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
- Place chicken in a shallow dish or 1-gallon sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Heat a grill or grill pan. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess and discard leftover marinade. Once hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until you have grill marks on both sides and the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. You want the internal chicken temperature to be 165F.
- Enjoy chicken immediately served with fresh parsley or let cool, package in storage containers and save for later use.
