Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is well-marked and juicy.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful.
Step 7
Serve the Paleo Frango Grelhado hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
