Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are fully coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400 degrees Fahrenheit). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The chicken should have nice grill marks and be golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
