Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, oregano, and lemon juice.
- Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over it.
- Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for even better flavor, overnight in the fridge.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Option 1: Pan-Seared & Oven-Baked (Best for Juiciness!)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
- Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer it to a baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Option 2: Grilled (For a Smoky Flavor!)
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once, until fully cooked.
Option 3: Air Fryer (Quick & Crispy!)
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or buttery rice.
