Lemon-Herb Greek Chicken Thighs
Pan-seared chicken thighs marinated in zesty lemon and oregano, served with a crisp cucumber and feta salad for a refreshing Mediterranean crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup chopped cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 oz feta cheese
5 whole kalamata olives
1 tsp red wine vinegar
PREPARATION
In a small glass bowl, whisk together half of the olive oil, the lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and turn to coat evenly; let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and crumbled feta in a medium bowl.
Drizzle the salad with red wine vinegar and toss gently to combine.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the fresh Greek salad.
