Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

  2. 3

    Marinate

    Refrigerate the marinating chicken for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for better flavor.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
