Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill/skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 3

    Rest Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Optionally, add sliced avocado, tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese on top.
