Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prep the Chicken
Start by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. If you are using the optional marinade, add honey, soy sauce, and grated ginger to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

Coat the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
Cooking the Chicken

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Let it Rest
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
