Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and turn them to coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a complete Paleo meal.
