Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb total)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until combined.
  2. Place chicken in a dish or bag, pour the marinade over it, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a slick of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

Marinating time is not counted in the prep time above. If you are grilling the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until 165°F.
