kcalGrilled Lemon Garlic Chicken is a simple yet flavorful dish where the chicken breasts are marinated in lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The citrus and garlic enhance the chicken’s natural flavor, making it both refreshing and savory.
Ingredients
4 thin-sliced chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, the
zest and juice of 1 lemon, salt, and pepper.
Place 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they’re fully coated. Cover and marinate for
at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. - Grill the Chicken:
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any
excess.
Grill the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and fully cooked (internal temperature
should reach 165°F/74°C). - Serve:
Serve the grilled chicken with grilled vegetables or a side of quinoa. Garnish with lemon slices for extra
flavor.
Notes
- Advice:
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat fully. If possible, let it marinate for a few hours or overnight for extra flavor. This dish is perfect served with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
