Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grill or bake the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Notes
For best results, use fresh garlic and high-quality olive oil. Letting the chicken marinate longer amplifies the flavor.
