Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preheating the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
While the grill is heating, prepare the lemon herb sauce. Finely chop the fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Once the grill is heated, place the chicken breasts directly on the grill grates. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps to retain its juices.
Slice the chicken and drizzle the lemon herb sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately, paired with your favorite Whole30 compliant side dishes.
