Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side.
- Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter, let it rest for a few minutes, and then serve hot. Enjoy your tangy lemon grilled chicken!
