Juicy Chicken Breast Marinade

Recipe View Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Combine Marinade Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the safflower oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. (1 minute)

Recipe View Cook the Chicken: Grill for approximately 3-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (6-10 minutes)

Recipe View Rest and Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate or cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. (5-10 minutes)
