Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, basil, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until a meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of low-carb side dishes or a fresh salad.
