Greek Lemon Chicken
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons (plus zest of 1 lemon)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for more flavor).
Preheat Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Rest and Slice: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Pair with a side of rice, salad, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
