This Greek-inspired meal balances the bright, zesty tang of lemon and oregano-marinated chicken with a fresh, crunchy tomato-cucumber salad. The marinade infuses the chicken with Mediterranean flavor, while grilling adds irresistible char and smokiness—a nod to classic Greek tavernas. Layering lemon, oregano, and garlic on juicy chicken builds delicious complexity, and the crisp salad offers a refreshing counterpoint. With only a handful of ingredients and no dairy, gluten, or pork, this dish is as vibrant and satisfying as it is healthy. Perfect for a warm evening or anytime you crave a Greek getaway on your plate!
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, turning to coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor).
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred.
  4. While chicken cooks, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  5. Slice chicken and serve alongside the fresh tomato-cucumber salad.
