Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
