  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Greek seasoning
  • 1 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Trim fat from chicken breasts; make small slits down each breast for better marinade absorption.
  3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek seasoning, poultry seasoning, oregano, and black pepper.
  4. Place chicken in a Ziploc bag; pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for 6-8 hours (or overnight).
  5. Remove chicken from the fridge and let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Drain excess marinade; grill chicken for about 4 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip and cook another 4-8 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165F/75C).
