Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Peito de Frango Grelhado as a main dish with a keto-friendly side like a green salad or cauliflower rice.
