Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Greek Chicken with Whipped Feta.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for this delightful dish.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner, more tender pieces.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, blend together red wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried rosemary, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them gently until they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 5
Drizzle in 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss once more to ensure every piece is well-covered.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, or up to 12 hours for an even richer flavor.
Step 7
Meanwhile, prepare the whipped feta by combining Greek yogurt and crumbled feta cheese in a separate bowl.
Step 8
Add minced garlic, chopped mint, and lemon zest, then whip the mixture with an electric hand mixer or whisk until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then refrigerate until youβre ready to serve.
Step 10
Preheat your charcoal grill until the coals are glowing white and extremely hot.
Step 11
Grill the marinated chicken over the hot coals for about 4 minutes on each side, continuing until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers at least 150Β°F (65Β°C).
Step 12
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 13
To serve, spread the whipped feta on a beautiful platter and arrange the grilled chicken on top.
Step 14
Finish with a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley and mint for a fresh touch.
Step 15
Enjoy this flavorful dish that brings a taste of summer to your table!.
