Grilled Lemon Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5–6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
