Juicy chicken breasts marinated in zesty lemon, garlic, and oregano, grilled to perfection. A vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired dish with a tangy, aromatic flair.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil (for grill brushing)
Pat chicken dry and place in a zip-top bag.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour marinade into the bag, seal, and massage to coat chicken.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side (12-14 minutes total), until internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C.
Rest chicken on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving.
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor
Marinate up to 6 hours for deeper flavor
Serve with grilled vegetables or Mediterranean flatbread
Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3-4 days
