Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden color.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Greek salad by combining the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a large serving bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
Serve the sliced chicken over the Greek salad. Drizzle with any extra lemon juice or olive oil if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Keto Greek Chicken!
