How to Make Lemon Marinade Chicken
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or large resealable bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- If using a dish, cover with plastic wrap. If using a bag, seal tightly.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
- Preheat your grill or oven to 325°F (160°C).
- If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
- Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If baking, place the chicken in a greased baking dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
