Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a large resealable bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and the juices run clear.
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
