Pollo A La Parrilla Recipe

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until blended.

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Prepare the Lemons

Cut the lemons in half. These will be grilled alongside the chicken for added flavor.

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Grill the Lemons

Place the lemon halves cut side down on the grill during the last 5 minutes of chicken cooking time. Grill until charred and caramelized.

Serve the Dish

Remove the chicken and grilled lemons from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the charred lemon halves for squeezing over the chicken.

Garnish

Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the grilled chicken before serving for added freshness.
