👶 Kid-Friendly🌶️ mild Spice

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!
