Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate. The longer the marination, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and place the chicken on the hot grill.
Grill the chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve hot. Enjoy your Paleo Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken!
