Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring the breasts are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the chicken on the grill.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice or additional chopped herbs if desired.
