Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 piece Lemon (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 4
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts generously with the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 5
Line a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the chicken breasts on the pan in a single layer.
Step 6
Broil the chicken for 5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the pieces and broil for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
