This recipe for Greek-style chicken was passed down through my family for years. If you're looking for great-tasting, tender chicken breasts, you'll want to try this!
Ingredients
- 4 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon , juiced
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.33 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
-
1
Cut three slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. Place chicken into a large bowl.
-
2
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.
-
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
4
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).
