This recipe offers a flavorful and juicy grilled chicken with a simple yet delicious garlic soy marinade.
Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed properly to avoid any leaks during marination.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal it, and gently massage to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
Massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure even flavor distribution.
Refrigerate the bag with the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Place the bag on a plate to catch any potential leaks in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels for better grilling.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
