This Mediterranean Grilled Chicken is juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! the combo of lemon, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and spices makes this delicious chicken seriously the best you will try! it’s so perfectly juicy and charred. 

Is it too soon to be grilling? I know it’s only April but I LOVE grilling year round. During the winter, I usually grill indoors on my stove-top grill because grilling meat is so easy and healthy too.

This is my family’s go-to grilled chicken breast recipe. Sometimes we dice up the chicken and make it into chicken kababs or cook the chicken in a pan and use the chicken in all different types of dishes.

I used these chicken breasts to make Mediterranean-inspired chicken rice bowls. These chicken breasts are also great for making gyros, wraps, on rice, or on a bed of salad.

  1. Do you think this would work with pork tenderloin?

  2. This recipe is easy and the chicken tasted amazing! No need for dipping sauce. This is my new go-to chicken marinade/seasoning. My whole family loved it! I would definitely recommend

  3. Made this tonight my family loved it! Thank you so much.

  4. I love this chicken so much I make it at least 7 to 10 times a month.

  5. Can you confirm the amount of dried oregano in this recipe? I cannot tell if it should be 1/2 teaspoon or 1 1/2 teaspoon? The ingredient list image is a bit deceiving.

    Thanks!

    1. It is probably 1/2 teaspoon, as 1 and 1/2 teaspoons 3/2 teaspoons = 1/2 tablespoon, so if it was 1 and 1/2 teaspoons it would just be notated as 1/2 tablespoon.

  6. I made this for the first time today. It was delicious!!! I didn’t have paprika; however, I used Mrs. Dash Chipotle seasoning. Worked perfectly. Marinated overnight. The breasts were flavorful all of the way through. I will definitely make this again.

  7. Excellent result and very quick and easy. I’ve often found chicken breasts can turn out dry and on the tough side. These were moist and delicious. Husband loved them.

  8. I would like to freeze my chicken breasts in the marinade to save a step from defrosting to grilling. Has anyone tried this?

  9. The whole family really enjoyed this chicken dish. It was flavorful and juicy. I used dried parsley as a replacement for fresh, and left out the paprika, both based on what I had on hand. We grilled it on medium high. We will definitely make this again.
