In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and lemon juice.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Cover the bowl (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably for 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Serve:
Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as salad, rice, roasted vegetables, or baked potatoes.
Enjoy your delicious Smoked Paprika Chicken!
