Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 gallon-size bag Ziploc bag
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size Ziploc bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade into the Ziploc bag over the chicken breasts.
Seal the Ziploc bag tightly, removing as much air as possible.
Massage the bag gently to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade.
Place the bag in the refrigerator, allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill, skillet, or oven to 375°F (190°C) when ready to cook.
Remove the chicken breasts from the bag, discarding the marinade.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy the flavorful, juicy Ziploc Chicken!
