Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and honey until well combined.

  2. 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 covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear.

  3. 5

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Flip the chicken breasts and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
