Method
Marinating the Chicken
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking the Chicken
Preheat the Grill or Oven
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. If grilling, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). If baking, place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, ensuring it is cooked through.
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
