Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound gently with a meat mallet until they are of even thickness (about 1/2 inch). This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the chicken on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through with nice grill marks.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a side of grilled vegetables, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete, delicious meal.
