The juiciest, most delicious chicken of your LIFE is just a marinade away. This recipe is truly The Best Ever Greek Chicken Marinade, and is a surefire way to ensure that your chicken turns out perfectly moist and juicy, every single time. Plus, this marinade comes together with only six ingredients, so it’s perfect to whip up any time that you’re craving restaurant-quality chicken.
Friends, if you’ve been to my blog before, then you’ll know that I’m all about the simple and easy recipes. As a busy mom of two rambunctious little boys, I just don’t have time to make all of the intricate and complicated recipes that I used to love. These days, my meals need to be quick, easy, and simple. So, what does that mean?
It means that my meals need to consist of SIMPLE ingredients that I can almost always have on-hand – whether that be spices, produce, or even meat (like chicken breast) that I can easily freeze. There is nothing worse than needing to make dinner, only to open your fridge and realize that you’re missing so many key ingredients. In my house, that just won’t fly, so I always make sure that my recipes are something that can easily be made on a whim.
Second, it also means that I need recipes that won’t take a ton of time to make. Between spending my days developing recipes and filming TikToks (which, if you aren’t following me on TikTok yet, you can find so many quick, easy recipes and kitchen “hacks” over there), to being a present mama for my boys, there is only so much time in the day that I can spend cooking meals. That’s why so many of my recipes come together fairly quickly – because that’s what I need for my life, and I know many of you need that, too!
The Key to Getting the Juiciest Chicken Ever
There are three ways to ensure that you will get the juiciest and most delicious chicken ever. The first, is of course, to make this marinade. Because the ingredients are so simple and easy, I really recommend making the recipe exactly as is, to ensure the perfect blend of flavors. That means no substitutions- this recipe is truly as simple and easy as it gets!
Second, make sure that you are letting your chicken marinate for at LEAST 1-2 hours, but 2-4 if you really want to maximize the flavor profile. This requires a little bit of prep on your end, but I promise, it’s so easy and worth it. Once you bite into that delicious, flavorful chicken, you won’t regret it!
Third, I highly recommend using organic chicken breast for this recipe. Organic chicken breasts are so much more flavorful than conventional chicken breasts, so if you can, I highly recommend opting for organic.
What You Need to Make This Delicious Chicken Marinade
This marinade requires only 6 simple and easy ingredients to make, and truly could not be easier!
- Olive Oil: Olive Oil is a staple of Greek / Mediterranean cooking, and is essential to making this marinade! It is also full of healthy fats, and has a delicious, rich flavor.
- Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps to cut through the fat of the olive oil, and bring brightness to this dish!
- Garlic: Fresh garlic adds the best flavor, and I highly recommend it whenever possible! Sure, you can use minced garlic or garlic powder, but fresh garlic is truly the best.
- Thyme: Thyme is essential to Greek cooking, and adds the perfect herbaceous flavor to this recipe!
- Dijon Mustard: Dijon mustard adds tang to this marinade. Don’t knock it until you try it!
- Sea Salt: A pinch of salt is necessary for any good marinade!
How to Make This Greek Chicken Marinade
Making this marinade could not be simpler! Simply whisk together all of your marinade ingredients in a small bowl, until fully combined. Then, pour it over your chicken, and place the chicken in the fridge for a minimum of 1-2 hours, and a maximum of 24 hours.
Then, prepare your chicken according to your preferred method. Store any leftovers in the fridge, and enjoy!

I used to struggle badly as a farmer barely surviving, buried in debt, and losing all hope. One night, I came across testimonies online about a man named Lord Bubuza who helps people win the lottery. I reached out to him. He guided me, performed a lottery spell, and gave me specific numbers to play. I used them to buy a ticket and two days later, I couldn’t believe it. I had won $5.1 million. I just stared at the screen in shock. From being broke and hopeless to becoming a millionaire overnight. Thanks to Lord Bubuza, I’ve cleared all my debts, bought more farmland, and secured my family’s future. I’m so thankful for what he did for me. If you’re in a tough place, he can help you too.

This is going to be my go to greek style marinade from now on, very flavorful and easy, and it even works with replacing the tyme with oregano. Only because my wife doesn’t care for tyme
Woohoo! I am thrilled to hear that, Sam! Thank you so much for your review!
I want to share my testimony on how Lord Bubuza changed my life. After years of playing the lottery without success, I decided to contact Lord Bubuza, a powerful spell caster I read about online. I followed his instructions and provided the requirement to cast the lottery spell. After the spell was done, he revealed specific numbers to me and said it would lead to my breakthrough. I played them and to my surprise I won $2 million, My ticket matched five of the six numbers. I didn’t even realize I had won until my girlfriend told me to check the ticket. My name is John Willis from Chester, Virginia and I’m still shocked. Had I matched all six, I would’ve won $70 million. I’m beyond grateful to Lord Bubuza for this life-changing blessing. His powers are real, and I will always be thankful. Join me and thank him via WhatsApp: +1 365 808 5313 or email: lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com ..

Hi viewers, I’m a testament that miracles happen. When I turned 18, My grandfather encouraged me to buy a lottery ticket for fun but I wasn’t pleased with the way I kept on playing without winning. I was eager to learn more about how to win the lottery and when I searched the internet I found numerous articles saying how they won the lottery through spell casting and I decided to give it a try by contacting Lord Meduza. I’d love to say that this man is such a sweet soul who got my back all through the process of making me a lottery spell to win the lottery. The numbers he gave me won me the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball of a whopping $48 million Canadian Dollars. Right now, my family and I are blessed. Thank you LORD MEDUZA for making this win come true for me and my family. Anyone that seeks for his help can get in touch with him by Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp: +1 807 907 2687.
