Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6 minutes on one side without moving them to allow proper searing.
Flip the chicken and grill for another 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain the juices before serving. Serve hot with your favorite low-carb sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
