Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 4 (6 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the marinade for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the breasts smooth-side down on the direct heat zone. Grill undisturbed for 5–6 minutes until a deep, mahogany-colored crust forms.
  5. Flip the chicken and move it to the indirect heat zone. Cook for another 4–6 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 160°F (71°C).
  6. Remove from heat and let the meat rest for 5–10 minutes, allowing the temperature to rise to 165°F (74°C) before slicing.
