Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This will help retain the juices.
