Grilled Chicken Breast

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
