Grilled Lemon Oregano Chicken

- #24282
Tons of zing in this grilled chicken breast recipe. The one-two punch of lemon juice and zest makes for some bright flavor. Try it on a sandwich with some greek toppings like tzatziki, feta, and tomato.
serves/makes:
ready in:
2-5 hrs
2-5 hrs
ingredients
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2 inch thick
directions
Combine the lemon peel, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, and garlic in a zip-top plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, seal the bag, and turn to coat the chicken in the marinade completely. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate or at least 2 hours (or up to 8 hours).
Preheat a grill (regular or contact-type like a George Foreman).
When ready to cook, drain and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook until done (4-6 minutes or so on a contact grill, 4-6 minutes per side on a regular grill), turning once during the cooking time.
