Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- 4
Preheat the Grill or Oven
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 5
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side on the grill, or 20-25 minutes in the oven, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 6
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with your choice of sides.
