A delightful grilled chicken recipe infused with Mediterranean flavors, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade for maximum flavor.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard the used marinade.
Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Turn the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure even grilling.
Use tongs to handle the chicken to avoid piercing it and losing juices.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon slices for an appealing presentation.
