Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for best flavor absorption.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has a nice charred appearance.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled chicken to a platter and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve hot.
