Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Once the grill is preheated, lightly oil the grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill.
Grill each side for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb side dishes for a complete meal.
