Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Marinate the chicken by placing it in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over, and ensuring each piece is coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C) and lightly grease the grill grates.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
  5. Rest the grilled chicken on a plate for about 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  6. Slice the chicken against the grain and serve with grilled vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh Mediterranean salad.
