Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure even coating. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the chicken moist.
- Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve with your choice of side dishes, such as Greek salad and tzatziki sauce.
- Enjoy your delicious Cousin Cosmo's Greek Chicken!
