Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

Ingredients:

● 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

● 2 lemons (juiced)

● 3 tablespoons olive oil

● 3 cloves garlic (minced)

● 1 teaspoon dried oregano

● 1 teaspoon dried thyme

● 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

● Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.

Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

While grilling, you can baste the chicken with some of the remaining marinade to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh herbs or additional lemon slices if desired.

Serve your Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
