This juicy and flavorful grilled chicken breast is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or family dinner. The simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs infuses the chicken with delicious flavor, while the grilling process seals in the moisture to create a juicy and tender finished product. ​
Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, and mix the chicken and marinade together until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and discard the marinade.
  6. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

​Serve it with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
