Steps:
- Lay your first chicken breast flat on a chopping board.
- Use a large sharp knife to cut sideways through the breast.
- Continue to cut through the chicken breast, keeping the knife flat and parallel to the chopping board, until you have two chicken fillets.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Pour about half of the water into a saucepan and add the salt, sugar, dried oregano, peppercorns and peeled garlic. Heat over a medium heat until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
- Remove from the heat, squeeze the juice from the lemons into the brine, then add in the used skins.
- Add the remaining water to the brine and allow the mixture to fully cool.
- Once the mixture is cold, add the filleted chicken breasts and brine them for 3-5 hours.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC
- Heat the 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet.
- Add in 6 of the chicken breast fillets and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn and repeat on the other side. Remove them from the pan and transfer to a large baking dish.
- Add the remaining oil to the skillet and cook the remaining 6 fillets in the same way. Transfer them to the baking dish.
- Thinly slice the garlic and scatter it around the chicken.
- Cut the lemon into small chunks and arrange it around the chicken.
- Sprinkle over the dried oregano and then pour over the chicken broth.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. (see note 1)
- Remove the chicken and lemon pieces to a serving platter and mix the extra virgin olive oil with any juices that are left in the bottom of the pan.
- Serve drizzled the extra virgin olive oil dressing and chopped fresh parsley.
- Can be served hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients, minus the chicken breast in a mason jar or a bowl.
- Place the chicken breasts in a dish and pour the marinade over them, turning them in the marinade to ensure that they are completely coated. Cover the dish with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat, around 450F.
- Place the chicken on a hot grill and close the lid. After the chicken has cooked for about 5 minutes, lift the lid and turn the chicken breasts over. Close the lid and let the chicken cook some more. The chicken is finished cooking when the meat has an internal temperature of 165F, when checked with a digital thermometer. Grilling boneless skinless chicken breast takes about 12-15 minutes, but can vary depending on the size and thickness of the meat.
- Remove from the grill and let the chicken breast rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to draw back into the centre of the meat.
- Serve with tzatziki, greek salad, and rice.

Steps:
- In a large measuring cup grate 2 t zest from 1 of the lemons. Split that lemon in half and squeeze 3 T juice into the cup. Add garlic and oregano. Whisking constantly slowly drizzle in olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pat chicken dry and place breast side down on large cutting board. Using sharp kitchen scissors, remove the backbone by cutting along either side of it. Turn chicken over and lay flat. Press firmly on breast to flatten the chicken. For added stability run one metal skewer through one thigh and through the breast. Do the same on the other side. Tuck wing tips behind back. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour half of vinaigrette into a large zip lock bag. Add chicken and massage vinaigrette into the chicken. Let marinate as long as you can.
- If using charcoal start it now. If using gas which is what I have, preheat covered grill for 10 minutes at highest heat. Turn off half of the burners and place chicken on the cooler side of the grill with legs facing towards the hotter side. Cover grill. Cook until thermometer inserted into deepest part of the breast reads 120, about 30-45 minutes.
- Carefully flip chicken and place skin side down on the hotter side of the grill with breasts pointed towards cooler side. Reduce heat to medium low. Press down firmly with a large spatula to increase contact between the bird and grill grates-to ensure a crispy skin. Cover and cook until thermometer registers 145 to 150, about 10 minutes longer. If chicken is not cooked all the way slide to cooler part of grill and cook until done. Do not leave lid off through this entire process unless checking temperature. If you do it will take longer to cook.
- I also grilled some peppers and onions to go with my chicken. Add these if you'd like. When you remove the chicken from the grill add split lemon halves and place cut side down on the hotter part of the grill. Grill until well browned. Carve chicken and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Squeeze grilled lemon halves over and serve.

Steps:
- Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
- Discard excess fat from chicken and season with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
- Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal briquettes (80 to 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of briquettes).
- When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken legs in 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to a tray.
- Put all browned legs on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (flesh will no longer be pink when cut near joint), 15 to 25 minutes more. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
- Add 15 briquettes evenly to coals and wait until they just light, about 5 minutes. (They will not be grayish white yet but will give off enough heat with other briquettes to maintain correct cooking temperature.)
- Sear chicken breasts, starting with skin sides down, in 2 batches on rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to tray.
- Put all browned chicken breasts on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), 12 to 15 minutes more. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
- Grill lemon slices on rack over coals, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
- To cook chicken using a gas grill:
- Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Turn off 1 burner and arrange chicken legs on lightly oiled rack above it. Cook, covered with lid, turning legs once, until cooked through, about 40 minutes total. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
- Cook chicken breasts on rack above unlit burner, covered with lid, turning once, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), about 30 minutes total. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
- Grill lemon slices on rack over flames, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
