While summer is still hot-and-heavy, I’ve been trying to come up with fun and easy marinades for grilling to spice up any weeknight. This Greek Style Marinated Chicken is perfect and it goes with pretty much everything! I love serving it with this simple Greek Salad (aka Horiatiki) for a fresh side dish. If you are wanting something a little more filling, try making my Greek-Style Lemon Potatoes!
Filled with classic Greek flavors like red wine vinegar, cumin, and oregano, this simple marinade has delicious results! Enjoy my Greek Style Marinated Chicken!
Greek Style Marinated Chicken
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and cover with saran wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of skillet, pound until 1/2 inch thick.
- In the bottom of a large bowl or casserole dish, add the olive oil, dijon, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine. Place the chicken into the marinade and let marinade for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for 4-24 hours.
- To grill the chicken, heat grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F. Once hot, grill chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve alongside the Horiatiki Salad.Â

I make this all the time. This is our favorite greek chicken recipe I make for my husband & myself. It tastes great the day after on salads too!
Love the idea of adding leftovers over a salad! Thanks for commenting.
Can you freeze this?
Yes! I don’t for-see any issues with freezing this reecipe.
We made this last night & it was AMAZING! We let it marinated for 2.5 hours & it still came out great. My husband was raving over it too.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It’s raining today so I ended up grilling inside on my Staub grill pan and it turned out perfect! I increased the marinade a little and used 2 lbs of chicken so we can eat it all week. Delicious!
Sooo good!! Marinated it for 4 hours, and already can’t wait to try again for longer.
Absolutely LOVE this marinade! I often use it to meal prep lunches for the week and I am never disappointed after having it 4 days in a row! I love it on chicken thighs but have also tried it on lamb kabobs and that was delish!
So happy you enjoy it.
