Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
Consider using avocado oil or lime juice for variations. Always allow the chicken to rest after grilling for juicier results.
