Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for uniform cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for even more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan on the stove will also work.
Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the grilled chicken breasts before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as a green salad or grilled vegetables.
