Description

A tantalizing dish of marinated chicken breasts in a zesty lemon and garlic blend, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the top.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  4. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  5. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Place the marinated chicken on the grill or skillet, searing for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and let it rest for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to lock in moisture. Customize ingredients as desired.
