Ingredients
- ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
- 2 Tablespoons Kosher Salt, Divided
- 2 teaspoons Black Pepper, Divided
- 6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 5 Lemons, Cut Crosswise Into 1/3-inch-thick Slices
Preparation
Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
Discard excess fat from chicken and season with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
Combine chicken, marinade, lemon zest, and lemon slices in a large resealable plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 2–6 hours, turning occasionally. You don’t want to have chicken ceviche.
Preheat grill to medium high heat, about 375-475°F. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with more salt and pepper. Grill 3–4 minutes per side, depending upon thickness.
