Lemon Garlic Grilled Chicken

INGREDIENTS

  •  Juice of 1 lemon, approximately 3 tablespoons 
  •  2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil 
  •  1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 2 medium cloves 
  •  1 teaspoon salt (I use coarse, kosher salt) 
  •  1/4 teaspoon pepper 
  •  1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 
  •  1 to 2 pounds chicken breasts (see note) 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. 
  2. Place chicken in a ziploc bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over chicken, tossing to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but up to 18 hours. 
  3. Preheat grill to medium- or medium-high (I use about 375 degrees on my pellet grill) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken. (The chicken can also be cooked in a skillet on the stove or broiled in the oven.)
