Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the grill.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes or slice them up for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
