Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them sear nicely.

  2. 2

    Make Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and juices run clear.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
