Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 230°C).

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve as desired.
