Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar-free substitute for keto)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or substitute), garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through.
- During the last minute of grilling, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and close the grill lid to allow the cheese to soften slightly.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Serve with keto-friendly sides like cucumber slices or celery sticks for a refreshing crunch.
