Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices dairy-free cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to a uniform thickness (about 1/2 inch) to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 6
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of dairy-free cheese on top of each chicken breast and close the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
