Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If some pieces are thicker than others, carefully slice them horizontally or pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it rest for 10 minutes while you preheat your grill.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken tender and juicy.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve alongside a light salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite healthy side dish.
