Recipe Notes
- You could substitute boneless chicken thighs for the breasts.
Here's how to make it:
- Pat chicken dry. Pound it out, if necessary.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Add chicken and toss well to combine. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place chicken on the grill for 5 to 7 minutes. Use tongs to flip over and cook until juices run dry, approximately 5 to 7 more minutes. Any extra marinade can be discarded.
- Remove chicken from the grill. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
