THE GRILL
Method
THE GRILL
- 1
Pound the chicken
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch (6 mm).
- 2
Prepare the marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Marinate the chicken
Toss the pounded chicken with the marinade until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate.
- 4
Preheat the grill
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 425-450°F / 220-230°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- 5
Grill the paillards
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- 6
Rest and garnish
Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and serve with lemon wedges.
