METHOD:
1. Prepare a hot charcoal fire, or preheat a gas grill for about 10 minutes on high.
2. In a large glass measuring cup, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, oregano and salt and pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over the breasts. Marinate the chicken pieces for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, basting once with the marinade and cook about 5-7 minutes or until springy to
the tough. Turn the chicken, baste and cook another 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
VARIATION: Marinated chicken can be cut into chunks and skewered with vegetables. Grill as described above.
