Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. If the chicken breasts are very thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness for faster and more even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If you’re using a stovetop grill pan, lightly oil the surface and preheat it over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill grates.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices and ensures tender meat.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
