Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and ensure they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. If grilling, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If baking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

  2. 4

    Rest and Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Optional Side Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Vegetable Medley

    While the chicken is marinating, chop your choice of vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Sauté them in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  2. 6

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed.
