Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly spread out and lightly coated with ash.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts and serve with a fresh green salad and lemon wedges for a light, flavorful meal.
