Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a homogeneous marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure they are well coated.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high, about 375 to 425 F (190 to 220 C).
