Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and turn them to coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables for a complete Paleo meal.
