  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well in the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat the grill.
