Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Marinade:
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Marinade
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. For an extra kick, add optional chili flakes or swap in honey/mustard for a sweet-tangy variation.
  3. Marinate the Chicken
  4. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag (or cover the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  5. Cook the Chicken
  6. Choose your preferred cooking method:
  7. Grill: Preheat to medium heat, cook for 6–7 minutes on each side until juices run clear.
  8. Pan-fry: Heat a skillet over medium-high, cook for 6–7 minutes on each side.
  9. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), bake for 18–20 minutes.
  10. Rest the Chicken
  11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure juiciness.
  12. Serving Suggestions
  13. Serve over rice, in wraps, on top of salads, or with roasted veggies.
  14. Garnish with parsley, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of yogurt/tzatziki for added flair.
