Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch. This ensures even cooking.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl of marinade and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor penetration.
Step 4
Remove the chicken breasts from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C).
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Step 7
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill, discarding any remaining marinade.
Step 8
Grill the chicken on one side, undisturbed, for about 6-7 minutes.
Step 9
Flip the chicken breasts and grill the other side for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
