Greek Style Garlic Chicken Breasts

Greek Style Garlic Chicken Breasts

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 ½ teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅓ teaspoon paprika

Directions

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).
