Chicken Preparation
- 1
Grilling the Chicken
If you prefer grilled chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Frying the Chicken (optional)
If you prefer fried chicken, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the seasoned chicken breasts in flour, shaking off excess. Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
