Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Cooking
Preheat the Grill or Oven
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. If grilling, place the chicken directly on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If baking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through.
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
