Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound chicken breast or chicken tenders

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 lemon squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 clove garlic pressed

Instructions

  • To start, you can buy chicken breast cut into strips or you can cut them yourself. There is enough marinade to cover 1.5 pounds of chicken.
  • In a large bowl, add in oil, chopped parsley, vinegar, salt, black pepper and minced or press garlic cloves. Give the marinade a good mix.
  • Then, add in chicken and cover. You can marinade for an hour up to over night. But, you will want to pull the chicken from the fridge to come to room temp before grilling. Meaning if you have only an hour you can just leave the chicken on the counter in the marinade.
  • When it's time to grill, get the grates up to 400ºF.
  • Grill each side about 3-4 minutes before flipping. Do not close the lid down. Continue flipping until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165ºF
  • Once finished remove from grill. Allow to rest about 5 minutes before serving.
