Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken

Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken

from melskitchencafe.com

Juice of 1 lemon, approximately 3 tablespoons

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic, about 2 medium cloves

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 pound chicken breasts (I usually cut really thick chicken breasts down to thin them out and make the pieces a little smaller so they absorb the marinade better)

Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken. Seal bag and place in fridge overnight. Grill (or cook in frying pan). Serve with sides of your choice or cut into bite sized pieces and add to desired recipe. Note: If you cut your chicken into smaller, bite-sized pieces and then marinate it, you can get away with only letting it marinate for 5 or 6 hours instead of overnight.

Often, I will double the marinade and chicken and grill it all up and freeze the extras to use later.
