Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, and minced garlic.
Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the herbs and garlic mixture. Mix well to combine.
Season the marinade with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the herb marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for more flavor infusion.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
