Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a uniform marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well-coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag (if using) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully permeate the chicken. If using a dish, cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
