Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breast. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Cooking
- 4
Preheat the Cooking Surface
If you are grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 5
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or in the heated skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving it, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken breast from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
