This recipe is naturally gluten-free and refined sugar free. Salt: I used kosher salt but you could also use pink salt if you prefer. Olive oil: Since this is a Mediterranean inspired recipe, I like to use extra virgin olive oil but you could use another neutral flavored oil like avocado oil or canola oil. And if you prefer, you can omit the red pepper flakes. Garlic powder: I love how convenient and concentrated in flavor granulated garlic powder is and find it’s easier to use in marinades than fresh garlic (which can burn on the grill).ĭried herbs & spices: I used a mix of dried parsley, basil, oregano, coriander, and red pepper flakes but you could also use a premade Greek seasoning blend as a shortcut. Red wine vinegar: I like the extra flavor that red wine vinegar adds to this marinade, but you could use all lemon juice or substitute apple cider vinegar in its place. Lemon juice: The lemon juice adds nice lift and brightness to this recipe, and teams up with the Greek yogurt to tenderize the chicken.
Greek yogurt: This is the star ingredient of this marinade and not only helps to tenderize the chicken, but adds delicious flavor too. Just adjust the cook time accordingly (shorter for chicken tenders, longer for bone-in cuts, etc). 🍋 Ingredients you need to make itĬhicken: I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use chicken thighs, chicken tenders, or bone-in & skin-on cuts of chicken.
