Notes

Greek chicken may seem easy, but it's all about the ingredients. Use premium ingredients when making this dish.
The recipe calls for chicken breasts, and it's one of my favorite ways to cook them- but you can also sub chicken thighs. If you decide to use thighs, make sure all the fat's cut off with kitchen shears.
This Greek chicken recipe is great as is, but if you want to take it to the next level- consider how to serve it. Pair it with a simple side like steamed white rice, pasta, or salad. The pulled chicken is also great in a wrap or gyro style soft taco.
