Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
