Juicy chicken marinated in lemon, rosemary, and Dijon mustard, then cooked to golden perfection and topped with a creamy, herby feta goddess sauce. A bright and savory dish that feels both fresh and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Water as needed for thinning

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, rosemary, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours in the refrigerator.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine feta, Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, dill, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed. Adjust seasoning.
  4. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked through, turning as needed.
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking.
  6. Serve chicken whole or sliced, topped with or alongside the feta goddess sauce.
  7. Garnish with extra herbs or lemon zest if desired.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier result.
  • Dried rosemary can replace fresh; use a smaller amount.
  • For extra flavor, add thyme or oregano to the marinade.
  • The sauce can be made lighter by replacing mayonnaise with more yogurt.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or in wraps and bowls.
