4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons black pepper

Place chicken in a large bowl, and pour marinade over. Using your hands, work marinade into chicken. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Not bad, but I think I'll add some more garlic next time.

Loved it! I added some lemon juice and oregano to the marinade. Chicken breasts were juicy and flavorful. I'll definitely make this again.
