Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.

  2. 4

    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).

  3. 5

    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.

  4. 6

    Garnish and Serve

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