- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Mince 3 cloves of garlic and zest a lemon.
- Squeeze the juices of a lemon.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, lemon zest and salt.
- Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the marinade emulsifies.

Notes
For optimal results, refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for at least 4 hours. If time permits, leaving it overnight will intensify the flavors even further.
