Grilled Lemon Chicken
This lemon chicken marinade makes the most juicy and flavorful grilled chicken! Its delicious off the grill or chopped up and used in other recipes.
Ingredients
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp oregano
- 4 6 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breast till it is an even thickness.
- Combine all ingredients in a gallon size ziplock bag. Squish it around till everything is blended and the chicken is well coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is better.
- Grill over medium high heat for 5-7 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing to prevent the juice from leaking out when cutting.
Notes
If I am doubling the recipe, I just use a 9x13" pan covered with plastic wrap to marinate the chicken.
