We ate this recipe last night with pasta sea shells on the side and garlic bread. It was very yummy. Warning to anyone that is grilling this inside the house instead of out on a barbque grill, open EVERY SINGLE WINDOW IN THE HOUSE because it's going to look like a fire got started in the house somewhere. The hot grill and the olive made a lot of smoke but it was soooooo worth it. LOVE IT!

This was horribly bland for us. I have since found other Greek chicken recipes on this site I will try. We ended up having to use dipping sauce for the chicken, which didn't fit in with my Greek theme at all. This has so many great reviews however, that I guess it just wasn't our cup of tea!

This had great flavor. I think the amount of olive oil was a bit excessive so next time I will cut back on it. Otherwise a good recipe.

I made this with a Greek themed meal. I really liked the flavor as did all of my guests. I was unable to marinate overnight but the flavor was still very good. I even had a request for a copy of the recipe!!

Both my husband and I loved this chicken and both give it 5 stars. That in itself is unusual so you can be very proud. I did add cayenne and crushed red pepper because we both love spicy. I baked it in the oven with new red (pre boiled)potatos marinated with the chicken. I also didn't marinate overnight, just a few hours and it was still great! Thanks for posting this recipe

I was not very impressed with this recipe. The only flavor that came through was the lemon.

Pretty good chicken....will increase the lemon juice next time, and I only added 1/4 c. evoo.....1c. of oil was way too much oil. Served on whole wheat pita with Easy Greek Yogurt Cucumber Sauce and Baked Tomatoes Oregano and corn on the cob on the side. Thanks!

I decreased the oil and added more lemon juice, as other reviewers suggested. I added thyme and basil for more flavor. I marinated it overnight, so it had plenty of time to flavor the chicken. Still, it was just rather bland. I don't love it--but it's ok. Nothing to write home about.

I love this marinade. The chicken came out tender and juicy. I fried mine on the stovetop - wish I had a BBQ. Look at me...an Aussie without a barbecue...that's like a Chinaman without a wok!

Hubby had grill going for salmon so I decided to put on a couple of chicken breasts. Since he was using charcoal I only had about 45 minutes for the chicken to absorb the marinate. Can't rate a 5 cause I didn't let it sit overnight but it DID have a nice flavor even after only marinating a short time.

This is a great way to cook chicken! My husband and three children like this chicken. I make a double recipe so my husband can have it for lunch during the week.

Used Lizabeth's recommendations. I decreased the oil to 1/2 cup but next time, will decrease more to at least 1/4 or even 1/8 cup. Used 3 TBS lemon juice since I didn't have lemons on hand. Used 1 tsp. of oregano and basil and 1/4 tsp. of cayenne and red/black pepper mix but that combination takes away from the original "Greek" recipe. Love the changes but it is what it is...not really Greek. I served the leftover chicken strips over a salad. Very tasty! Didn't understand the concept of "cutting" the chicken prior to marination but either way, the chicken breasts were so tasty and WILL MAKE AGAIN!!! A definite keeper!

Doubled the garlic (love garlic!) and cooked the chicken on my George Forman. I thought the fresh lemon juice added just enough lemon-flavor, but didn't overpower the garlic at all. I did add a little oregano and thyme as well. I bet it's even better on an outdoor grill, I can't wait to try it again.

This recipe was just OK with me. The marinade smelled wonderful so I really had my hopes up. It still came out kind of bland to me...and I let it marinade over 24hrs! I gave it 3 stars because my 3 year old loved it.

i made a version of this using thighs. i increased the garlic to about 1/2 cup, and only used about a tablespoon of garlic flavor olive oil. i baked it for an hour and a half @ 375. i kept it covered for the first 45 minutes, then basted it about every 15 minutes with the cooking juices. it absolutely melted in your mouth!

This was a simple recipe but I wasn't very impressed by the taste. I wanted something flavorful, moist, and somewhat easy to cook for guest. I'll keep looking.
