Instructions

  1. In a medium glass bowl, combine the ingredients for marination; 1/4 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix it well until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marination and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
