  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it’s fully coated. Massage gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours for deeper flavor).
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates.
  5. Remove chicken from the marinade (discard excess) and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
