Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 0.25 Cups lemon juice
• 0.25 Cups olive oil
• 2 Teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 Teaspoon seasoning salt
• 0.5 Teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 Teaspoons onion powder

Steps

1. Gather all the ingredients.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each breast to a uniform 0.5-inch thickness for even cooking.
4. In a large zip-top bag, combine lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, seasoning salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Add the chicken breasts, press out as much air as possible, and seal the bag. Gently massage the chicken to ensure even distribution of the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.
5. Once marinated, place the chicken breasts smooth-side down on the preheated grill. Cook, covered, for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
6. Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and tent with aluminum foil. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
7. Serve the chicken with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Enjoy your perfectly grilled, juicy chicken with a side of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
