Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lemons
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the lemon herb sauce. Squeeze the juice from both lemons into a small mixing bowl, ensuring there are no seeds.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme, and add them to the lemon juice.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to combine.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the lemon herb sauce over the chicken, turning to coat all sides. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
Step 5
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Step 8
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Serve the grilled chicken drizzled with the reserved lemon herb sauce, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
