Method
Marinade Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Grilling
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
