Grilled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Grilling Method

  1. 1

    Make the marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over, turning to coat. Seal and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 200-230°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade (let excess drip off) and grill 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If desired, baste with a little extra marinade during the last few minutes.

  5. 5

    Rest and serve

    Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
