Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and optional herbs and paprika if using. Mix well until combined.

2

Coat the Chicken

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

3

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If grilling, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.

4

Cook the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Cook the chicken breasts on the grill or skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.

5

Rest the Chicken

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
