Zubereitung

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub the marinade all over both sides of each piece, making sure every surface is coated.

  3. 3

    Rest and preheat

    Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 5 minutes while you preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly.

  4. 4

    Grill first side

    Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook without moving it for 6 to 7 minutes, until deep golden grill marks form and the chicken releases easily from the grates.

    Flip the chicken once and grill for another 6 to 7 minutes on the second side, until the internal temperature reaches 165F at the thickest part.

    Rest and serve

    Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with lemon wedges squeezed over the top.
