  •   4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  •   Juice of 2 large lemons
  •   0.25 cup olive oil

  •   Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

• ◊ Marinate: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, zest, oregano, honey, salt and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• ◊ Preheat the grill: Heat to medium-high and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
• ◊ Grill the chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and grill 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F and nice char marks appear.
