Marinade Preparation

Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

Let it Rest
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
