Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Add the chicken breasts and toss them in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.

Preheat the Grill

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill the Chicken

  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through.

Serve

  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it on a plate, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
