Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Zest of a lemon
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
