Morning Lemon-Paprika Chicken Delight

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken (PT10M, 10 minutes):
In a shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them rest for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the meat.

2. Prepare and Serve (PT5M, 5 minutes):
Place a serving plate nearby. Once the chicken has marinated, transfer each piece to the plate. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken to enhance its flavor and visual appeal.

3. Final Touches (PT2M, 2 minutes):
Optionally, garnish the chicken with fresh lemon slices or additional lemon zest for a bright, zesty finish. This can also add a burst of color to the presentation.
