Instructions

Gather all ingredients to begin.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise for even cooking.
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Pour in ¼ cup of olive oil and toss again. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 12 hours, ideally 2 to 3 hours.
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt and crumbled feta cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of minced mint, garlic, and lemon zest. Use an electric mixer or whisk to whip until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your outdoor charcoal grill until the coals are white-hot. Lightly oil the grill grate.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill over the hot coals and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side. Continue flipping and grilling until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from heat and let rest for about 5 minutes.
Spread the whipped feta evenly onto a serving platter or plate. Arrange the grilled chicken breasts on top of the feta.
Garnish the chicken and feta with parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons of mint before serving.
