Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a clean cutting board.

  2. 2

    Make Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice to form a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. If using, sprinkle fresh herbs and chili flakes on top. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

  3. 6

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps to retain the juices.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve immediately, or use it in salads, wraps, or any desired dish.
