Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

2

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken breasts and coat them in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

3

Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

4

Serve

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with fresh parsley garnish and enjoy!
