Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley or coriander, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill or stovetop grilling pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, until they are fully cooked and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
- Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve and Garnish: Slice or serve whole, garnished with fresh parsley or coriander if desired.
