🧾 Ingredients

  • 2–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (or vinegar)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes or cayenne pepper for heat

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pound & Prep the Chicken

For even cooking, gently pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness (about 1/2 inch).

2. Make the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Add chicken and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 20–30 minutes (or up to 12 hours for deeper flavor).

3. Preheat the Grill

Heat your grill to medium-high heat (200–220°C or 400–425°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the Chicken

Place chicken on the grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, flipping once, until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and juices run clear.

5. Rest & Serve

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides!

🥗 Serving Ideas

  • Serve with grilled veggies, rice, or a fresh salad
  • Slice over pasta or quinoa bowls
  • Use leftovers in wraps, sandwiches, or tacos
  • Top with tzatziki or BBQ sauce for a flavor boost

📦 Storage & Meal Prep

  • Fridge: Store grilled chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months in meal prep portions
  • Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of broth or lemon juice

📝 Pro Tips for Juicy Grilled Chicken
