# Steps:
01 -
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Italian herb blend, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
02 -
Place chicken in the marinade, ensuring full coverage. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
03 -
Preheat grill to 200–220°C. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
04 -
Remove chicken from marinade and arrange on the hot grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side until fully cooked, internal temperature reaches 75°C and juices run clear.
05 -
During the last 1–2 minutes of grilling, sprinkle additional Parmesan on the chicken to allow it to melt.
06 -
Let chicken rest off the grill for 5 minutes. Top with freshly chopped parsley and more Parmesan before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If grill is unavailable, use a large skillet over medium heat or bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes.
02 -
For extra juicy results, select chicken thighs; for a lighter option, choose breasts.
03 -
Pairs well with pasta, salads, or roasted vegetables.
