Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Look for free-range or organic chicken for better flavor.
1/4 cup olive oil Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil.
2 tablespoons lemon juice Freshly squeezed gives the best flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced Adds depth and warmth to the dish.
1 teaspoon dried oregano Can substitute with fresh herbs.
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.

Grilling

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Shake off any extra liquid.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve with sides like grilled vegetables, salad, or rice. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
