Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken is a delicious and refreshing dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to help you make it:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all the pieces are well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals for direct cooking.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve with a fresh garden salad, grilled vegetables, or a side of rice or quinoa.
- This chicken is also great for slicing and adding to sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
Enjoy your flavorful grilled lemon herb chicken!
