Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 lemons, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium heat or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. If baking, place the chicken in a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
6. Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy result.
7. Serve the Lemon Pepper Chicken hot with your desired side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
