Grilled Chicken

Préparation

1. 1

   Make the marinade

   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.

5. 5

   Flip and finish

   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.

6. 6

   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.
