- 1 tablespoon(s) grated lemon zest
- 1/3 cup(s) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
- 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped fresh oregano (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for grates
- Coarse ground pepper
- 4-5 chicken breast
- 4 lemons, halved crosswise
Directions
- Make marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, oregano, oil, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Divide marinade between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Place 2 chicken halves in each bag; shake to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 30 minutes, turning bags occasionally.
- Preheat grill to medium; lightly oil grates. Remove chicken from marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken, on grill. Cover and cook, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over; cover and cook until well browned, 10 to 15 minutes. If chicken is browning too quickly, move to cooler parts of grill or turn grill to low heat.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board cover with foil. Meanwhile, place lemon halves on grill, cut side down; cook until slightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut chicken pieces in half; serve with grilled lemon halves, and, if desired, garnish with oregano sprigs.
