Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add some chopped fresh herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to the marinade.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or bake it in the oven.
• Make sure to let the chicken rest before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep it moist.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the Chicken Athena with a side of Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or pita bread for a complete meal.
