Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a large resealable bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Remove chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and the juices run clear.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
