Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Marinate 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 well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 450°F).

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  3. 5

    Rest Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
