Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Ensure all chicken pieces are well-coated, then cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are ashed over and have settled into an even layer.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and discard the leftover marinade.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the meat is no longer pink in the center.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the chicken and serve immediately with your favorite Whole30 compliant side dishes.
