Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator and let excess marinade drip off. If grilling, place directly on the grill; if baking, arrange on a parchment-lined baking dish.
- Grill each side for about 7-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). If baking, cook for about 25-30 minutes until crispy.
- Allow the chicken to rest for five minutes before slicing or serving whole. Drizzle with any remaining cooked marinade for added flavor.
- Serve alongside fresh vegetables or a light salad.
