Juicy Grilled Chicken Breasts

Recipe View Gather all the necessary ingredients to ensure a seamless cooking experience.

Recipe View Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound each breast to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking and tenderizes the chicken. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a large zip-top bag, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, seasoning salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Add the chicken breasts to the bag, pressing out any excess air before sealing. Gently massage the chicken to evenly distribute the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor infusion. (5 minutes + marinating time)

Recipe View Ensure the grill is preheated to medium-high and the grate is lightly oiled.

Recipe View Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill, smooth-side down. Cook, covered, until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This typically takes about 5 minutes per side, but cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken and the heat of the grill. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (10-15 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the grilled chicken breasts to a cutting board and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Serve the Juicy Grilled Chicken Breasts with lemon wedges and your favorite sides. Enjoy this culinary masterpiece!
