Creating mouthwatering chicken breast is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. Cook Chicken:
– For Grilling: Remove chicken from marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
– For Baking: Arrange chicken breasts on a greased baking tray. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

5. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove chicken from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

6. Slice and Garnish: Slice the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and freshness.
