Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe - Delicious and Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate for 2-4 hours.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

    Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

    Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    Serve with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
