Very Greek Grilled Chicken



I found this recipe online at http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/. It was excellent. I used a fresh lemon for the zest and juice. You could taste a little tang from the lemon but not overpowering. It calls for Greek seasoning. There is a recipe for this seasoning also. Anyway I couldn't find it at my store so made the recipe. The recipe makes enough for a few uses. Can be stored in a airtight container. If you have a vacuum sealer it would be easy to make a small packet for the seasoning.

Very Greek Grilled Chicken

6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp fresh lemon zest or 1/4 tsp dried zest
1 tsp Greek seasoning (recipe will follow)
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano
black pepper to taste

Trim all fat from chicken. Cut small slits in chicken about 1/2 inch apart. Place in zip top bag. Combine marinade ingredients, pour over chicken. Marinate in fridge six to eight hours. Grill to done. Goes good on a salad or stir fried vegetables.

1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 garlic powder
1 tsp cornstarch
