Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. 2 Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. 3 Preheat your 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.
  5. 5 Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  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 garnish of lemon slices and additional fresh herbs, if desired.
