Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts on a plate or in a shallow dish and brush both sides generously with the marinade.
Step 4
Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. If you have more time, marinate in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes for intensified flavor.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) at the thickest part of the chicken.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken hot, paired with your favorite sides like a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or rice.
