Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions:

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for quicker cooking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for 2-4 hours (or overnight).
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the used marinade). Cook using your preferred method (grilling, baking, or pan-frying) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy one of the best chicken marinade recipes!
