Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preheat the Grill
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

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

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
