Ingredients

For the Marinade

2 tablespoons Smoked Paprika Adjust for more or less smokiness.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be substituted if preferred.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Fresh onion works, but adjust for moisture.
To taste Salt Enhances flavor; be cautious if using seasoned ingredients.
To taste Pepper Freshly ground recommended for better flavor.
2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with other oils as needed.
Juice of 1 Lemon Juice Fresh squeezed for best results.

For the Chicken

4 pieces Chicken Breasts Boneless, skinless recommended for even cooking.

Method

Preparation

Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl to create a marinade.
Add the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor absorption.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for the best results.

Cooking

Heat the grill to medium-high, preparing it for an even cooking process.
Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Ensure your grill is properly preheated for searing the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately. Consider adding fresh herbs for an aromatic touch. Pair with a refreshing side salad to balance the richness of the chicken. Adjust the spices according to personal taste preferences.
