Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Dried herbes de Provence
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, herbes de Provence, fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
3. Refrigerate the marinating chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are evenly ashed over.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve the grilled chicken garnished with additional fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
