Marinade
Chicken
Method
Marinade Preparation
Combine Marinade Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Marinate 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 overnight for best results.
Grilling
Grill Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with your choice of sides.
