Creating this juicy and flavorful Authentic Greek Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Grill/Pan: Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place on the grill or skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
6. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Following these steps, you’ll create a delicious dish that embodies the flavors of Greece and delights your guests.
