This Mediterranean-inspired grilled chicken recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken with a creamy tzatziki sauce and savory toppings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, and olive oil.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
Turn the chicken halfway through marinating for even flavor absorption.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the chicken to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving plate. Top with crumbled feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, and kalamata olives.
Arrange the toppings neatly for an appealing presentation.
Serve the chicken warm with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added color and flavor.
