Get perfectly tender, juicy grilled chicken breasts by marinating the chicken in a simple mixture of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and herbs and grilling over direct medium heat.
Ingredients
Marinade:
1/4 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon
dried oregano
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
2 teaspoons
paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
Chicken:
6
boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
Preparation
1. In a medium bowl whisk the marinade ingredients.
2. Place the breasts on a large, rimmed plate. Spoon or brush the marinade over the breasts, turning to coat them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat.
4. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the chicken, smooth side down, over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the meat is firm to the touch and opaque all the way to the center, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once or twice. Serve warm.
