In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, olive oil, finely chopped parsley, finely minced garlic cloves, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Place the chicken breasts in a suitable dish. Use a fork to pierce the chicken breasts evenly, which assists in better absorption of the marinade.

Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator or for enhanced flavors, marinate overnight.

Preheat your grill or broiler on a medium-high setting. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for around 10 minutes.

Cook each side of the chicken breasts for approximately 5-6 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and juices run clear. Be careful not to overcook, as the chicken can become dry.

After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving, this ensures it retains its juices resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
