1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If blackening, heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil.
3
Cook the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
4
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice into strips to add to your salad.
