Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Mix the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together until nicely blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

- Cook the Chicken: Grill or bake the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

Letting the chicken marinate for a couple of hours elevates the flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
