Our everyday grilled chicken got a makeover with a quick marinade and a little feta and herbs. Add some sliced cucumbers and peppers on the side, and this is a full, healthy, meal.

2 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (thin sliced or pounded thin)

juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup feta cheese, garnish

In a large Ziploc bag, combine lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and oregano.   Salt and pepper chicken, and add to marinade.

 

Refrigerate the chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

 

Heat the grill to high heat and grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes, discarding marinade, then flip it over and grill for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
