Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/4 cup olive oil $0.52
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice $0.16
  • 3 cloves garlic $0.26, minced
  • 1/2 Tbsp oregano $0.05, dried
  • 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
  • black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
  • 1.5 lbs. chicken thigh $4.94, or boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to a bowl or a large zip top bag. Stir the ingredients in the dish until combined.
  2. If using breasts, fillet each chicken breast into two thinner pieces. Place the chicken in the bag or in a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over top, making sure the chicken pieces are completely covered in marinade. Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours (refrigerated), turning occasionally to maximize the chicken's contact with the marinade.
  3. When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium. Transfer the chicken from the marinade to the hot skillet and cook on each side until well browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes each side, depending on the size of the pieces). Cook two pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can cause juices to pool and prevents browning. Discard the excess marinade.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken from the skillet to a cutting board and let rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.
