- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- 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.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy the delicious marinated grilled chicken!
