Marinade

Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving it.

  3. 5

    Flip and Cook Through

    Flip the chicken breasts over and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
