Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Marinate: Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
