Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
1.5 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
0.33 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Create three slits in each chicken breast, ensuring the marinade penetrates deeply. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, salt, and paprika in a bowl and whisk for approximately 30 seconds. Pour the mixture over the chicken, massaging the marinade into the meat with your hands. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate.
Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the meat is fully cooked and the juices run clear. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
