Grilled Lemon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade:
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the chicken, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
  3. Grill the Chicken:
    Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
  4. Rest and Serve:
    Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite side dish.
