Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice to create a marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Cooking
- 2
Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Garnishing
- 4
Garnish and Serve
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the rested chicken before serving. You can serve the chicken with your choice of sides such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
