Succulent Garlic Lemon Chicken Breast Fillets

Marinade Preparation In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.

Marinating the Chicken Place the chicken breast fillets in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all fillets are coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Chicken Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken fillets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through and golden brown, with grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Resting and Serving Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest if desired. Serve the succulent garlic lemon chicken breast fillets with lemon wedges on the side.
