Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4


Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Grill the Chicken:
    • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Serve:
    • Transfer to a plate, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with a side of salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.
