Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, prepare the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice, then remove the garlic butter from the heat.

Step 7

To serve, place the grilled chicken breasts on a plate and spoon the garlic butter sauce generously over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
