  • 1 lb chicken breast skinless, boneless
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper

Sun-dried tomato herb vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup parsley
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill

Instructions

  • Marinate the Greek chicken. Combine the olive oil with balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, and paprika. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and pour over the marinade, turning to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the sun-dried tomato herb vinaigrette. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender (lemon juice - oil) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
