Description

Make Greek-style chicken with this family-favorite recipe! An easy lemon and garlic marinade adds nice flavor to the juicy, grilled chicken breasts.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1 Cut three slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. Place chicken into a large bowl.
2 Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, salt, and paprika together for about 30 seconds. Pour over chicken; use your hands to work marinade into chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
4 Cook chicken on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
