Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Dried herbes de Provence
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, herbes de Provence, fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

3. Refrigerate the marinating chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are evenly ashed over.

Step 5

5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

6. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.

Step 7

7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

8. Serve the grilled chicken garnished with additional fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
