  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried tarragon crushed paprika

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Prepare marinade and marinate chicken for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare marinade: In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, olive oil, garlic and tarragon.
  • Place chicken in a large zipper-topped plastic bag and pour marinade on top. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Place chicken on a broiler pan rack, sprinkle with paprika and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source for 5 to 6 minutes or until brown.
  • Turn chicken and sprinkle with paprika; broil for 5 to 6 minutes or until done. OR, use your outdoor grill instead.
