Marinade

Chicken

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 232°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the prepared mixed greens salad. Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken meal!
