Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 piece Lemon (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 4

Brush both sides of the chicken breasts generously with the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.

Step 5

Line a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the chicken breasts on the pan in a single layer.

Step 6

Broil the chicken for 5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the pieces and broil for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
