Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 4 cloves Fresh garlic (finely minced)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish the grilled chicken with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

Step 9

Serve the grilled garlic chicken with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
