Method
Marinade Preparation
- 1
Mix the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.

Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Marinate the Chicken
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.
Grilling
- 4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F / 190°C to 232°C).
- 5
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.
- 6
Turn and Cook
Flip the chicken breasts and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Rest the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
