• Yield 4 Servings
• Ready in 745 minutes
• Prep 730 minutes
• Cook 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 to 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic (about 2 to 3 medium cloves)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs or tenderloins

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano and pepper.
2. Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over chicken, tossing to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
3. Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 12 hours.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high (I use a pellet grill set to 375 degrees F.).
5. Cook chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side (increase or decrease time for chicken tenders or chicken thighs) until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken.
6. Tent the chicken with foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
