Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F).
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
