Method
Preparing the Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Add Chicken
Place the chicken breast into the bowl with the marinade. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Preparing Optional Sides
Cook the Rice
In a pot, add 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Steam the Broccoli
In a steamer basket over boiling water, steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes, until tender but still bright green.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it on a plate alongside the cooked rice and steamed broccoli. Garnish with fresh parsley.
