- To marinate chicken: In a shallow baking dish, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Continue to whisk and incorporate oregano, salt and pepper. Place chicken in dish and ensure it is coated on all sides. Cover in plastic wrap and allow to rest â in the refrigerator â for at least 30 minutes. Chicken can marinate up to 4 hours.
