Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.33 Cups (cup) vegetable oil
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) lime juice
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) lime zest, grated
• 4 Whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) oregano, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) red pepper flakes
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 6 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps

1. In a shallow glass dish, combine the vegetable oil, lime juice, grated lime zest, minced garlic, minced oregano, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
5. Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
