Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch. This ensures even cooking.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl of marinade and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor penetration.
Remove the chicken breasts from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill, discarding any remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken on one side, undisturbed, for about 6-7 minutes.
Flip the chicken breasts and grill the other side for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
