Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Butterfly or pound the chicken for quicker, more even cooking.
  • Mix the olive oil, vinegar, honey, and spices in a bowl to create your Greek marinade.
  • Marinate the chicken in the mixture for 4-6 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
  • Preheat the Ninja Grill to high. Sear the chicken breasts 2-3 minutes per side to get those delicious grill marks.
  • Turn the heat to medium and cook the chicken for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Let the chicken rest - carryover cooking will finish cooking the chicken.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

    • The secret to a flavorful Greek grilled chicken lies in the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 4-6 hours, but if you can, let it sit overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavors it absorbs.
    • If you don't have fresh garlic, garlic powder can be a good substitute but remember that fresh always tastes better.
    • Lemon juice can also be added to the marinade for an extra zing.
    • Don't overcook the chicken! Pull the chicken off the grill at about 160F, and the carryover cooking will finish it.
    • Just like beef, let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before serving to lock in all the juices.
