• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pounds chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets)

   Peheat the grill to medium-high heat then clean and oil the grill grates.

   Remove the chicken from the marinade, place on the grill, and cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F/74°C with an Instant read thermometer.

   Remove from the grill onto a clean dish, allow to cool for 5 minutes then slice and serve with salad, in wraps, or over pasta.
