Garlic Marinated Chicken

🧂 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Freshly cracked pepper
• 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Instructions

• 1 Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a bowl or a
  large zip top bag. Stir the ingredients in the dish until combined.
• 2 If using breasts, fillet each chicken breast into two thinner pieces. Place the
  chicken in the bag or in a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over top, making
  sure the chicken pieces are completely covered in marinade. Marinate the chicken
  for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours (refrigerated), turning occasionally to
  maximize the chicken's contact with the marinade.
• 3 When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium. Transfer the chicken from
  the marinade to the hot skillet and cook on each side until well browned and
  cooked through (about 5-7 minutes each side, depending on the size of the
  pieces). Cook two pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can
  cause juices to pool and prevents browning. Discard the excess marinade.
• 4 Transfer the cooked chicken from the skillet to a cutting board and let rest for
  five minutes before slicing and serving.
