Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure that each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your grilled chicken!
