Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each breast is evenly coated. Massage the marinade into the chicken to ensure it’s well covered.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the garlic herb grilled chicken breast recipe hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes (including grilling time)
Tips:
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating to ensure they cook evenly on the grill. You can customize the herbs in the marinade based on your preference or what you have available. For a complete and satisfying meal, serve the grilled chicken breast with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or rice. Enjoy!
