This recipe was passed down through my family for years. If you're looking for a great tasting, tender chicken breast, this is what you're looking for. It is worth marinating overnight and the chicken here is barbecued but you can also cook it in a heavy frypan on the stovetop.

ingredients
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
1 cup (250ml) extra virgin olive oil
-
1 lemon, juiced
-
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
-
1/3 teaspoon paprika
preparation method
- Cut 3 slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika for about 30 seconds. Place chicken in a large bowl, and pour marinade over. Using your hands, work marinade into chicken. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat barbecue for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
- Cook chicken on the barbecue until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear-about 10 minutes per side
