Mediterranean Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast boneless, skinless
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest grated

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
2. 2 Place the chicken breasts in the bowl and ensure they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.
3. 3 Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. 4 Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. 5 Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
6. 6 Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. 7 Serve the grilled chicken with a side of your favorite Mediterranean salad or roasted vegetables.
