Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them and massage gently to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
