Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
