Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
