Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

    Prepare the Whipped Feta: In a food processor, combine the crumbled feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with freshly cracked black pepper. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more olive oil or yogurt. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.

      Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

        Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

          Serve: Serve the grilled chicken slices topped with dollops of whipped feta. Add lemon wedges on the side and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve alongside pita bread or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
