Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring both pieces are fully coated.
Let the chicken marinate for 5 minutes at room temperature while preparing a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Heat the skillet or grill pan and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place the chicken into the hot pan.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the cooked chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing or serving. Enjoy!
