1. Step 1

   To start, gently pound the chicken breasts on a clean surface until they reach about 1/2-inch thickness.

2. Step 2

   This step ensures they cook evenly and stay juicy.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine safflower oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.

   Whisk these ingredients together until they blend beautifully, creating a fragrant marinade.

   Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.

7. Step 7

8. Step 8

   Now, place the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least 6 hours, or if you have the time, up to 24 hours.

9. Step 9

   This allows the flavors to really soak in, making each bite irresistible.

10. Step 10

    When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

11. Step 11

    Take the chicken out of the marinade, shaking off any extra liquid, and discard the remaining marinade.
