Ingredients
-
1 cup lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons dried marjoram
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
Directions
-
Whisk 1 cup lemon juice, olive oil, and marjoram together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until almost burned on each side and no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle chicken breasts with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Cook's Note:
If preferred you can cook the chicken for the last few minutes in the marinade; just make sure the marinade comes to a boil.
