Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or 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 4 hours for more flavor.
Grilling the Chicken

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute for a juicier result.
