Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the seasoning stick better.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve with chopped fresh parsley sprinkled on top for garnish.
