Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
- Marinade the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Grill or Skillet: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
- Remove and Discard Marinade: Once marinated, take chicken out of the bag and discard the marinade.
- Grill or Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill or in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove chicken from the heat and garnish with fresh lemon slices before serving.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken longer if you have time—up to 2 hours is even better. Use fresh herbs if available for elevated flavor.
