  • Cut three slits in each chicken breast to allow marinade to penetrate. Place chicken into a large bowl.
  • Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, salt, and paprika together for about 30 seconds. Pour over chicken; use your hands to work marinade into chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
