Wanna Be Greek Grilled Chicken Breasts - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons liquid honey
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
-
Add a small amount of buttermilk to the honey and whisk until smooth, then add the remaining marinade ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Place chicken breasts in a zipper bag, pour marinade over and seal, turning to coat.
Refrigerate 4-8 hours, turning occasionally. A longer marinating time will yield a more tender and flavourful result.
Grill on medium setting until no longer pink.
Note: You don't need a pool of marinade around the chicken but if it seems scant add bit more buttermilk.
If you like a fuller lemon flavour use the juice of a whole lemon. I've also left out the lemon totally when I didn't have one, still a great taste.
Cooking time is approximate, it depends on which method you use. You could also cut up the chicken and skewer -- reduce marinade and cook times.
