Delicious Grilled Lemon Oregano Chicken

This recipe features chicken marinated in a zesty lemon and oregano mixture, then grilled to perfection. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and cook, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon slices if desired, and serve hot.
