Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled chicken with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and garnish with additional herbs, if desired.
Service Suggestion
- Pair the Grilled Chicken with Lemon and Herbs with a side of quinoa or couscous for a complete meal.
- Drizzle with a homemade garlic-herb sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
Notes
- Serve the grilled chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
- For added smokiness, grill the chicken over charcoal or wood chips.
