What Kind of Chicken Works Best?
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both great options here, depending on your preference. Thighs are more tender and juicy, while breasts offer a leaner bite.

Step 1: Marinate and Cook the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Greek chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. Grill or sear the chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked, then set aside to rest before slicing.
