PIZZA
Method
PIZZA
Make the marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If using, add lemon zest.
Marinate the chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, coat evenly, and seal. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Grill the chicken
Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is nicely charred.
Rest and slice
Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips or small cubes suitable for topping a pizza.
