Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

Ingredients

• •4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• •3 tablespoons olive oil
• •2 lemons (juiced and zested)
• •4 cloves garlic (minced)
• •1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• •1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •½ teaspoon black pepper
• •½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• •Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

2. 2

   Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal or cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for better flavor.

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

   Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.

6. 6

   Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

7. 7

   Serve the grilled chicken garnished with fresh parsley, along with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables or a salad. Enjoy!
