Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon of rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for grilling

Marinate

The secret to this dish lies in the marination. Combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well-coated with the marinade. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or overnight if you have the time. This step infuses the chicken with a burst of tangy and herbaceous flavors that make every bite delightful.

Time to Grill

When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high. Brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F . The grilling process will give the chicken a lovely charred finish, enhancing that rustic feel we love so much.

Serve with a Country Flair

Serve your Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with a side of roasted root vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. The vibrant colors and flavors will make your dining table feel like a scene straight out of a modern country home.
