Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Place chicken in a bag or dish, pour marinade over top, and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
  3. Remove chicken, pat dry, then cook on a preheated grill or skillet over medium-high heat, 6 to 7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, let it rest in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours. Discard any leftover marinade that touched raw chicken.
