Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lemons (juice and zest)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures a lovely char and keeps the chicken juicy.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and Serve: Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness. Enjoy your meal!
