Origin Lemon Grilled Chicken

Lemon and chicken combinations have been a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines for centuries. Grilled chicken with a lemon-based marinade is particularly popular in countries like Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon. This dish reflects the region’s love for fresh, citrusy flavors that enhance the natural taste of grilled meats.

What I Love About This Recipe

I love how the lemon marinade adds such a bright and zesty kick to the chicken without overpowering it. The combination of lemon, garlic, and herbs creates a deliciously aromatic flavor that makes this dish perfect for any occasion. It’s light, healthy, and pairs beautifully with a variety of sides such as salads, roasted vegetables, or rice. Plus, it’s super easy to prepare!

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• Juice and zest of 1 lemon

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

• Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 7-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

• You can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs if you prefer a more flavorful, juicy cut of meat.
• For a smoky flavor, add a few minutes of grilling over indirect heat or use a charcoal grill.
