Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.
Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for best results. If short on time, 10 minutes will suffice.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off before placing the chicken on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be golden brown with a nice char.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Serve the grilled chicken breasts immediately, accompanied by your choice of sides such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
