Description

A vibrant Mediterranean chicken marinade that infuses juicy flavors with fresh herbs, citrus, and savory spices.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  4. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
  5. When ready to cook, preheat your grill, stovetop skillet, or oven.
  6. Cook the chicken until it’s golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use fresh juices for better flavor and ensure the chicken is well-coated for maximum flavor retention.
