Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 2
Add Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture.

Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving. Serve with your choice of sides.
