Description
Elevate your grilling game with the ultimate Grilled Chicken Marinade! This simple yet flavor-packed recipe is the key to juicy, tender, and absolutely delicious grilled chicken every single time.
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Paprika
- Dried oregano
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano until the mixture is well combined.
2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor absorption.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean plate or cutting board, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken and serve it alongside your favorite grilled vegetables, salad, or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
For the best results, opt for high-quality, fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
