• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure it's evenly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
