Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
