Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
