Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
Step 3
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate. The longer the marination, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and place the chicken on the hot grill.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve hot. Enjoy your Paleo Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken!
