Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken Easy and Flavorful Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 piece zest of lemon
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the grilled chicken on a wooden platter with lemon wedges and fresh herbs on the side for visual appeal. A sprinkle of extra herbs just before serving adds a vibrant touch!
