Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the grill is heating, prepare the lemon herb sauce. Finely chop the fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Once the grill is heated, place the chicken breasts directly on the grill grates. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps to retain its juices.
Step 7
Slice the chicken and drizzle the lemon herb sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately, paired with your favorite Whole30 compliant side dishes.
