Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Preheat the Grill

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
