Method
Marinade Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Chicken Preparation
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let it Rest
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
