Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish the grilled chicken with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
Step 9
Serve the sugar-free frango grelhado with your favorite sides, like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
