Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil ($0.52)
1/4 cup lemon juice ($0.18)
3 cloves garlic, minced ($0.24)
1/2 Tbsp dried oregano ($0.15)
1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)
Freshly cracked pepper ($0.05)
1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts ($5.37)

Steps:

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.
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.
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.
Transfer the cooked chicken from the skillet to a cutting board and let rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.

LEMON GARLIC MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

Lemon Garlic Marinade for Chicken image

I'm not sure where I got this recipe but it is very good. I usually throw some chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and add this marinade and then freeze. All I have to do for a quick meal is thaw and toss on the grill. This makes enough marinade for about 1-1.5 pounds of chicken breasts. Cooking time reflects marinating time.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh preferred
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

Place chicken breasts in a large ziploc bag.
Mix first five ingredients together and pour over chicken.
Marinate at least one hour, longer if possible.
Cook chicken as desired.
I prefer to grill mine.
This is wonderful served on a caesar salad.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Choose fresh, organic chicken, and use a good quality olive oil.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This garlic-marinated chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, olive oil, herbs, and spices, then cooked to perfection. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a salad.
