Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast fillets
- 2 lemons juiced and zested
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, chopped thyme, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200-220°C.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C, and the juices should run clear.
- While grilling, baste the chicken with the leftover marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the lemon herb grilled chicken with your favorite side dishes and garnish with additional fresh herbs, lemon slices, or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.Enjoy your delicious Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken!
