Creating Greek Lemon Chicken is straightforward and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
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 evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before cooking.
5. Cook the Chicken:
– Grilling: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
– Baking: Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over it. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
7. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
