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.
