Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

Healthy Fact of the Day

Grilled chicken is a lean source of protein, and when seasoned with fresh herbs and a zesty lemon twist, it's a delightful and nutritious choice.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

 

Instructions

 

  1. In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the chicken.
  4. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for better flavor), turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even marinating.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season it with salt and black pepper.
  7. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. Serve your Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Unsung Heroes of the Kitchen: Tools Most Home Cooks Underestimate

Using a kitchen scale rather than volume measurements has been shown in nutritional research to produce more accurate portion sizes across all food categories — not just baking. Home cooks who weigh ingredients and portions consistently consume more predictable and intentional quantities of calorie-dense ingredients like fats, nuts, and grains than those who measure by volume, making the kitchen scale one of the more practical tools for mindful eating without requiring calorie counting or dietary restriction.
