Here’s how to make this delicious recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to marinate.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be golden brown and have grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish the grilled lemon herb chicken with lemon slices and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
