For the Chicken Marinade:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
For the Seasoning Mix:
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Directions
Marinate the Chicken:
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, dried thyme, dried parsley, and salt.
- Marinate: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Season the Chicken: In a separate small bowl, mix the seasoning ingredients: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the marinated chicken breasts, coating them evenly.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Flip the chicken only once during grilling to get nice grill marks.
Serve:
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
Notes
- Grilling Alternatives: If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add a Glaze: For an extra burst of flavor, brush the chicken with a barbecue glaze or honey mustard during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Storage: Store leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: The marinated chicken can be frozen before grilling. Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
This Outback Steakhouse-inspired chicken recipe will make you feel like you’re dining out, all while enjoying the convenience and comfort of homemade food!
