How to Make 15 Minute Marinated Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
  2. Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) on a plate and spread the marinade evenly over both sides.
  3. Marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), turning only once halfway through.
  5. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
