A simple and flavorful Greek marinated chicken recipe that captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Create the savory marinade by combining lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Sear the marinated chicken in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serve it alongside salads or rice.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate overnight. Searing is essential for texture. Can add crushed red pepper or substitute oregano for thyme.
