Here’s a simple and delicious grilled chicken recipe for you:
### Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
### Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
– In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
– Place the chicken breasts in a 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, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill:
– Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).
4. Grill the Chicken:
– Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest and Serve:
– Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices. Slice and serve, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
### Tips:
– You can customize the marinade by adding your favorite spices or herbs.
– Serve the grilled chicken with a side of vegetables, salad, or rice for a complete meal.
Enjoy your grilled chicken!
