Method

Kids - Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Prep the chicken

    Trim chicken breasts to an even thickness if needed. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken in a shallow dish and coat evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Grill chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
