Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Bowl:

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Chicken: Grill or cook chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden. Let rest, then slice.
