Method

Grilling Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Rice

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Serve

Once the chicken is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with a side of rice.
