Ingredients
  

  • 6 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice plus the zest from one lemon
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 4 garlic cloves pressed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken dry and pound chicken if some parts are too thick. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl or resealable freezer bag. Add chicken and toss well to combine. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes.

  • Remove chicken from the grill. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges and vegetables, if desired.
