Ingredients
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon zest
1 teaspoon oregano
4 garlic cloves pressed
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat chicken dry and pound chicken if some parts are too thick. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl or resealable freezer bag. Add chicken and toss well to combine. Marinate for at least 30 minute
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Place chicken on the grill for 5-7 minutes. Use tongs to flip over and cook until juices run dry, approximately 5-7 more minutes. Discard extra marinade.
Remove chicken from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing
Serve in a pita with vegetables and tzatziki sauce, if desired.
