Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast halves in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is entirely coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Line a broiler pan or a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack or a broiler rack on top of it.
Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer on the rack.
Broil the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side. Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring tender, juicy chicken.
Serve with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
