Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
