Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a plate or in a shallow dish and brush both sides generously with the marinade.
Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. If you have more time, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes for intensified flavor.
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) at the thickest part of the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, paired with your favorite sides like a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice.
