I have been making this grilled chicken with lemon and oregano on the grill for so many years now. It’s the best grilled chicken that always turns out super moist and tender. It has great flavor, and it’s super light and healthy too. This is a chicken that is perfect for serving with grilled vegetables or chopping up to add to salads.
We grilled this up for the first time at our beach house on an ‘ol charcoal grill. I like to use boneless breasts or those with bones and skin… anything will work. Just make sure the grill is heated up pretty well before you put the chicken on. If it has to grill too long, you’ll end up with burnt, dry chicken. One little trick that I usually do when I’m grilling chicken is to transform the breasts into even thickness by pounding the heck out of them with my meat mallet. That eliminates problems with uneven cooking, and the chicken usually has a better shot at remaining moist and tender.
A nice, little addition to this one is grilled lemons. They become soft and juicy, and the lemon flavor mellows a bit to add a good drizzle to the grilled chicken. The chicken is good on its own or sliced up and placed on top of greens. Enjoy!
