Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer everything to a resealable plastic bag.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.
