Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Whisk until well blended.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).

Step 3: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill.

Grill for about 6-8 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5: Let the Chicken Rest

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it stand for about 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the chicken moist.

Step 6: Serve

Slice the chicken and serve with your choice of side dishes such as grilled vegetables, salad, or pasta. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Variations

Herb Options: Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as basil, oregano, or cilantro for varied flavors.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy version.

Citrus Twist: Incorporate orange juice into the marinade for a sweeter flavor profile.
