1. Prepare the Chicken

• Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the mixture thoroughly over all sides of the chicken breasts.

2. Cook the Chicken

• Stovetop/Grill: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Place the chicken on the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches and the juices run clear. Do not overcook.
• Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. (This keeps the chicken juicy).

3. Prepare the Ladolemono Sauce

• While the chicken is resting, combine all the Ladolemono ingredients in a small bowl: lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Whisk vigorously until the sauce is slightly emulsified (it will thicken a little and look cloudy).

4. Serve

• Slice the chicken breasts (optional) and place them on plates.
• Drizzle a generous amount of Ladolemono sauce over the warm chicken. You can also serve the extra sauce on the side.
• Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite Mediterranean sides like roasted potatoes, rice, or a simple Greek salad.
• Picnic ready!
