Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to achieve a nice sear on the chicken.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade, making sure every part is covered. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken on the preheated grill, cooking each side for 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  2. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
  3. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight. Experiment with different herbs and spices in your marinade for unique flavors.
