Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 large yellow bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bell peppers by slicing them into thick strips.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
After the chicken has marinated, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is grilling, add the bell pepper strips to the grill. Grill the peppers for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.
Once the chicken and bell peppers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter with the bell peppers.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
