Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. If the chicken breasts are very thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness for faster and more even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If you’re using a stovetop grill pan, lightly oil the surface and preheat it over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill grates.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices and ensures tender meat.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
