Chicken Marinade

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

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

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish and serve hot.
