Start by preparing the marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you prefer grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
If baking, transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). To achieve a golden finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.
If grilling, brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with a light salad, roasted vegetables, or your choice of side dish for a complete meal.
