1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This helps to remove any excess moisture.
2
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade.
3
Let it Marinate
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
4
Preheat the Grill or Oven
If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).
5
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
