1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for optimal flavor.
3
Preheat the Grill
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 230°C).
4
Grill the Chicken
Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on one side without moving it, until grill marks appear.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the chicken breasts and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
