Ingredients

1 cup olive oil
0.67 cup lemon juice
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips

Instructions

In a large, gallon-sized, zip-top bag, combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, pepper, and salt. Seal the bag and shake well to mix. Add the chicken and shake again to coat. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Baste generously with the marinade, then cover the grill. Grill for approximately 10 minutes. Baste the chicken again, then turn it over and baste the other side. Cover the grill and continue to grill until the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the centers and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.
