Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 large red bell peppers
• 2 large yellow bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the bell peppers by slicing them into thick strips.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

After the chicken has marinated, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is grilling, add the bell pepper strips to the grill. Grill the peppers for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.

Step 7

Once the chicken and bell peppers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

Step 8

Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter with the bell peppers.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
