Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 lemons (zest and juice)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a 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 and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, move it to a cooler part of the grill.
- Rest and Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with your favorite summer sides such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or corn on the cob.
