For an extra layer of flavor, add a tablespoon of dried oregano or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serve the grilled chicken breasts with a side of Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or couscous for a complete and satisfying meal. The marinating time is crucial for tenderizing the chicken and infusing it with flavor. Don't skimp on this step! If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
