Sometimes you just need a REALLY great chicken recipe in your back pocket.

Scratch that — when do you NOT need a really good chicken recipe in your back pocket?!

We eat a lot of chicken in the Atha household so I love finding new ways to mix up our routine with new flavors. I love using Greek flavors for inspiration because they are always rich in flavor but tend to be light and healthy!

This pan-seared, quick marinade Greek-inspired chicken is:

• Super seasoned
• Lemony
• Garlicky (but not overpowering)
• Juicy and tender
• Perfect for salads, bowls, wraps or over your favorite starchy side like my Feta Couscous Salad!

Here’s how you’ll make this Juicy Greek-Inspired Chicken:

1. Trim and dice chicken into cubes.
2. Marinate chicken in a bowl with minced garlic, minced shallots, spices, lemon juice + lemon zest for 10 minutes.
3. Heat oil in non-stick pan then add chicken.
4. Sauté until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
5. Use chicken in salads, bowls, wraps or over your favorite starch!

You’re going to love how quickly this chicken cooks and how versatile the chicken is! Having this chicken in the fridge makes eating healthy so much easier. Hope you love!
