  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 3 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Preparing Grilled Chicken Breast can be straightforward if you follow these clear and concise steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each breast is well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on one side without moving them.
6. Flip Chicken: Turn the chicken breasts over, and grill for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring tenderness.
8. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the chicken against the grain for the best texture.

Following these steps will guarantee you an incredible dish rich in flavor and texture!
