Instructions
 

The Preparation

  1. In a mixing bowl, add together 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, minced 3 garlic cloves, 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika, 1 Tbsp. honey, 1 lemon juice, 1 lemon zest, 1 tsp. dried oregano, ¼ tsp. dried basil, 1 tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Whisk together until the mixture is consistent.

The Marinating

  1. Place the 500 g chicken breasts (boneless and skinless) in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours for more flavor).

The Cooking

Flip the chicken and cook for another 6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
