Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Meat thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Marinating
  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Preheating the Grill
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grilling the Chicken
  1. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Resting and Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving, to keep the juices locked in.

Notes

For best results, adjust seasoning to your taste and consider marinating longer for deeper flavor. Ensure chicken is cooked through to 165°F (74°C) internal temperature for food safety.
