Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan on the stovetop, heat it over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid flipping the chicken repeatedly to allow proper searing and caramelization.
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
