Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 4 teaspoons fresh oregano minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 pounds chicken breasts about 6 large breasts
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place is all marinade ingredients in a large resealable bag, nestled inside a shallow baking dish or bowl. Toss to combine. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Marinade in the fridge for 30 minutes - 2 hours, but no longer than 2 hours.
  • To cook, grab a meat thermometer and check that the breast has reached an internal temp of 165 F. You can cook your chicken breast on the:
    Grill - Set to medium-high heat, and grill on each side for about 6-8 minutes, until the breast is cooked through.
    Oven baked - Preheat oven to 400 F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake untill cooked through, should be between 18-25 minutes.
    Pan seared - Heat a pan to medium heat, and sear on each side for 6-8 minutes. If using an extra thick breast I find placing the lid on top and slightly reducing the heat to be helpful in cooking the breast all the way through.
  • Allow your chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and enjoy!
