- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
