Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
Grill chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Pounding chicken to even thickness helps with uniform cooking.
Marinate longer for deeper flavor.
