Preparation Details
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 8 hrs 20 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ teaspoon paprika
Steps
- Cut three slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. Place chicken into a large bowl.
- Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, salt, and paprika together for about 30 seconds. Pour over chicken; use your hands to work marinade into chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
