Instructions

1

If chicken breasts are thick, butterfly or pound them to an even 3/4-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.

Tip: Uneven thickness is the number one reason people overcook chicken breast. Even it out and you'll never have dry chicken again.

2

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours refrigerated).

3

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly.

4

Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until grill marks form and internal temperature reaches 165F.

5

Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Squeeze a lemon wedge over each portion before serving.
