Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is fully cooked with grill marks.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly seasoned, juicy grilled chicken!
