Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts directly on the grill grates.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken on its own, or pair it with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
