Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
