Whisk 1 cup lemon juice olive oil and marjoram together in a large glass or ceramic bowl.

Add chicken and toss to evenly coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator stirring occasionally for 2 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat.

Cook chicken in hot oil until almost burned on each side and no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 4 minutes per side.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle chicken breasts with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
