Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
4 teaspoons minced garlic
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast about 4 chicken breasts

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the sour cream, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Whisk together until combined. Reserve ⅓ cup of the marinade for brushing on later. Add the chicken breasts into the marinade and mix until chicken is all coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate for 3 hours in the fridge.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Shaking off excess sauce into the bowl, place the chicken on the grill and grill with the lid on for 8 minutes, then flip the chicken and brush with the reserved marinade and grill for another 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the breasts from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Leave the chicken breasts whole and slice as needed.

Freezer: Wrap each piece of chicken in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Reheat leftovers covered on the stovetop or in the oven for the juiciest results. The microwave might dry out the chicken, so heat in 30 second increments with a dash of water for moisture.
