Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl with the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the lemon herb sauce by combining the butter, remaining olive oil, remaining lemon juice, remaining garlic, lemon zest, and parsley in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until the butter is melted and ingredients are well-mixed. Set aside.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook each side for 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve the grilled chicken hot, drizzled with the lemon herb sauce on top.
