Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 4-6 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
Serve the marinated herbed grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes.
