Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the lemon herb sauce by combining the butter, remaining olive oil, remaining lemon juice, remaining garlic, lemon zest, and parsley in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until the butter is melted and ingredients are well-mixed. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook each side for 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, drizzled with the lemon herb sauce on top.
