Main Dish Mediterranean

Steps

In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Serve garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy your Mediterranean meal!

Tips for Mediterranean Ginger Grilled Chicken

Look for browned grill marks and an opaque center; the thickest part should feel firm but still springy, not dry or tough.
Pat the chicken surface dry before grilling for better browning, and leave space around it so it sears rather than steams.
A grill pan, sturdy tongs, and an instant-read thermometer make cooking and turning easier; clean the grates to reduce sticking.
