instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the chicken breasts in a bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, juice of half the lemon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

    2

    Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    3

    Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    4

    While the chicken is cooking, slice the remaining half of the lemon into wedges for serving.

    5

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to settle.

    6

    Serve the grilled chicken with the lemon wedges and enjoy!

Important Tips
