Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, in another small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the lemon zest. Set aside to use as a basting sauce.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook each side for 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 6
During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the lemon zest olive oil mixture over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with a spoonful of any remaining marinade sauce over the top for added flavor.
