Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 4

Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Once the grill is preheated, lightly oil the grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Step 7

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill.

Step 8

Grill each side for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 9

Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb side dishes for a complete meal.
