Cooking Instructions
1.
Zest one lemon and then juice both
Lemons (2)
.
2.
In a large bowl, mix lemon juice and zest,
Olive Oil (1 tsp)
,
Dried Oregano (1 tsp)
,
Salt (1/2 tsp)
, and
Dried Thyme (1/2 tsp)
. Place the
Chicken Breast (1)
in the bowl and marinate for 30 minutes or so.
3.
While the chicken marinates, make an easy Greek salad. Mix together
Red Onion (1/2)
,
Vine-Ripened Tomatoes (2)
,
Cucumber (1)
,
Green Bell Peppers (to taste)
,
Black Olives (to taste)
,
Red Wine Vinegar (1 tsp)
,
Olive Oil (1 tsp)
,
Lemon Juice (to taste)
,
Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
.
4.
Top the salad with
Feta Cheese (to taste)
.
5.
Once the chicken is marinated, thread it onto wooden or metal skewers and cook. I cooked mine on the hot griddle, adding the rest of marinade over the chicken, but you could also cook it under the grill or fry in a pan.
6.
I cooked mine for probably 4 minutes each side, turning now and then, and checking it was cooked thoroughly before serving.
7.
Serve with the salad and some lemon on the side to squeeze over. Enjoy!
