Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 300 grams
• 2 tablespoons olive oil - 30 ml
• 2 cloves garlic, minced - 6 grams
• 1 lemon, juiced - 30 ml
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 gram
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme - 1 gram
• 1 teaspoon salt - 5 grams
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - 1 gram
• 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - 8 grams

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
5. During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the chicken to allow it to melt slightly.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
