Calories: 172kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breasts or tenders 896g
- 1 large shallot 40 g
- 6 cloves garlic minced (or frozen cubes)
- ½ cup loosely packed parsley 20 g
- ½ cup loosely packed cilantro 20 g
- ¼ cup loosely packed basil 12 g
- 1 jalapeno seeds removed (20 g)
- 3 Tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt 45 g
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 g
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar 30 g
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 g
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp dried oregano or use a handful of fresh if you’ve got it! I never do
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Trim any fat or gross stuff off of your chicken. Butterfly or pound if you prefer thinner breasts and faster cook-time! You can also use tenderloins. Place chicken in a large ziploc bag.
- Add all of the marinade ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until smooth, Pour over the chicken and let it marinate in the fridge overnight, or leave at room-temp for 30-60 minutes before grilling.
- Pre-heat and carefully oil your grill. Sprinkle chicken with a fresh pinch of kosher salt and a little cracked pepper. Cook over high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side (if you’ve butterflied) or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165.
Notes
Use it to build chicken sandwiches, or chop it up and use in salads, grain bowls, wraps etc!
For tenderloins: Of course this would also be great with tenderloins! A little more trimming, but so quick to cook and always more tender in my opinion. Just cook for about 3 minutes per side.
