A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe that combines a tangy marinade with a smoky finish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through without overcooking.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
