Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade.
5. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
6. Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This helps retain the juices inside the meat.
7. Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
