Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or a baking sheet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes per side until done.
  4. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, slice into strips, and serve warm with tzatziki sauce, salad, and pita bread.
