Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stove over medium-high heat and lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place them on the hot grill.
Step 6
Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken breasts with your favorite dairy-free sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
