1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
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 30 minutes, ideally 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they are covered with white ash.
4
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
5
Flip and Cook
Carefully flip the chicken breasts using tongs and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
