Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional Garnish: Lemon slices or chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Step One: Prep the Marinade
In a medium mixing bowl or a zip-top bag:
- Pour in the lemon juice
- Add olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper
- Stir well or shake the bag to mix
Step Two: Marinate the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts into the bowl or bag
- Make sure each piece is coated evenly
- Cover the bowl (or seal the bag) and refrigerate
- Let it sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor
Step Three: Grill Time
- Preheat your grill (or grill pan) over medium heat
- Lightly oil the grill grates to avoid sticking
- Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess liquid
- Grill each breast for about 6 to 7 minutes per side
- Use a meat thermometer — internal temp should reach 165°F
Step Four: Rest & Serve
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling
- Slice and plate with steamed veggies or a quinoa salad
