Ingredients

  • Six succulent chicken breasts
  • A generous cup of safflower oil
  • A quarter cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Three tablespoons of finely chopped garlic
  • Three tablespoons of aromatic Italian seasoning

Step 1

Prepare the chicken breasts by gently pounding them on a flat surface until they reach a thickness of about 1/2 inch for even cooking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine safflower oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and fragrant Italian seasoning. Pour this flavorful marinade into a sealable plastic bag. Place the chicken in the bag, ensuring it is well-coated with the marinade. Remove any excess air from the bag before sealing it securely. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours, though for optimal flavor, let it sit for up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Before grilling, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature and lightly grease the grate to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Take the marinated chicken out of the bag, shaking off any extra marinade. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 5

Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until it is no longer pink in the middle, typically around 3 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful bite.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers or resealable bags to marinate your chicken breast. This helps in locking in all the flavors and ensuring even distribution of the marination.
  3. 2. Consider using a vacuum sealer to remove excess air from the storage container, which can help in preserving the quality of the marinated chicken breast for a longer period of time.
