Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  2. 3

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  3. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. 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 chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  4. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps to retain the juices.
