This savory lemon chicken recipe is bursting with flavor. The tangy marinade infuses the chicken breasts with zesty lemon and aromatic garlic, while grilling ensures juicy and tender meat. It's a perfect dish for a quick and delicious dinner!
Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts. 2 lemons, juiced and zested. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish.
Instructions: This is the marinade: lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Put it all in a bowl. Put the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a plastic bag that can be closed again, and pour the marinade over them. Put the dish or bag in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours with the lid on or sealed. Set the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to heat it up. Take the chicken out of the marinade and throw away the extra marinade. Cook the chicken on the grill for about seven to eight minutes on each side, or until it's fully cooked and the middle is no longer pink. Take the chicken off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
