Scale
Ingredients:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry. This helps clean the chicken before marinating.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. This creates the flavorful marinade.
- Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish; coat with marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour (overnight for best results). Marinating allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat (375°F). This prepares the cooking surface.
- Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (approximately 6-8 minutes per side). Ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy your delicious Greek marinated chicken!
