Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast, skinless and boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Slice the grilled chicken breasts and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
