Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Make sure each piece is well coated in that savory goodness.
- Refrigerate and Infuse: Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results). The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes!
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure that the chicken sears nicely and gets those perfect grill marks.
- Prepare to Grill: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade to avoid contamination.
- Grill the Chicken: Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the juices run clear. You’re looking for that beautiful golden brown color.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This step helps retain the juices, making every bite succulent.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate overnight. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
