A quick and easy marinade recipe that makes boneless skinless chicken breasts juicy, tender, and packed with flavor in just 5 minutes of prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6–8 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 ml), freshly squeezed preferred
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (1 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (6 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (1 g)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly thickened.
  2. Place chicken breasts into a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, seal or cover, and massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or a minimum of 15 minutes if short on time, up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat grill pan, skillet, or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on one side until golden and slightly charred. Flip and cook another 6-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let chicken rest on a plate tented loosely with foil for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes for best flavor; 15 minutes works if short on time. Avoid marinating longer than 4 hours to prevent meat from becoming too soft. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Let chicken rest after cooking to retain juices. For oven baking, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
