Serves:

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each breast is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, but for best results, marinate them for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Greek-Style Garlic Chicken Breasts with your favorite sides, such as Greek salad or roasted potatoes.
