Instructions

Preparing the Chicken

  1. Marinate the Chicken
    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
  2. Cook the Chicken
    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. Prepare the Garnish
    While the chicken is resting, prepare the garnish by combining cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese in a bowl.
  2. Serve
    Slice the rested chicken and serve it on a platter. Top with the prepared garnish and drizzle with a bit more olive oil, if desired. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Greek Chicken!
