Instructions
Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have this melt-in-your-mouth chicken ready to serve in no time!
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat the Oven or Grill: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or preheat your grill over medium heat if you prefer grilling.
4. Cook the Chicken:
– Oven Method: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
– Grill Method: Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked.
5. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring it stays moist.
6. Slice and Garnish: Slice the chicken breast and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
