Steps

Prep and Marinate

If necessary, pound the chicken breast fillets to an even thickness so they cook uniformly. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat thoroughly with the marinade, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2-4 hours.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade (discard any remaining marinade) and place them on the hot grates. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C / 165°F).

Rest and Serve

Once the chicken breasts are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This helps keep the meat juicy. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.

Extra Tips

► For the best flavor, marinate the chicken breast for at least 30 minutes, or even several hours in the refrigerator.

► Don't overcook the chicken, as it can dry out! It's done when its internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

► Serve with a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or quinoa for a complete and healthy meal.
