Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, oregano, salt, and pepper until the mixture looks creamy and no longer separates.
  2. Add 1.5 to 2 pounds of chicken to a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour in the marinade, and turn to coat every piece. Seal or cover, refrigerate, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours). Discard any marinade that touched raw chicken.

Notes

If you want to hang onto extra marinade, set some aside before adding the chicken. Bring it to a boil for 3 minutes if you plan to use it as a sauce. For a hint of sweetness without sugar, add a teaspoon of powdered erythritol, though it’s not necessary.
