We have fallen head over heels for this Greek marinade. It is fresh tasting, super simple and quick to throw together on a busy weeknight. Serve with a couple of sides for dinner and slice the leftovers to go with a salad for lunch the next day. To be honest, it’s not the most attractive of dishes, but don’t hold that against it because this marinade is packed with flavor and will make this chicken melt in your mouth. So good!
Grab the ingredients the next time you’re grocery shopping and save them for the next night you find yourself in need of a quick prep dinner and starting to reach for the phone to order a pizza.
