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
- 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.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the lemon herb marinade over the chicken.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and season it with salt and black pepper.
- 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.
- Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve your Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
