Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F or 190–200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the heated grill. Cook for 6–8 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the garlic grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice. Enjoy!
