Health benefits of Greek Marinade

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped dill
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
Six 1-inch strips of lemon zest
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons ouzo
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together. Place the chicken in a large, resealable bag and add the marinade. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan and brush liberally with vegetable oil. Scrape any marinade off the chicken, season it generously with salt and pepper and grill.
