Requirements
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Marination Time: 30 minutes (optional for best flavor)
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45–60 minutes
Servings: 2
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
How to Cook
To prepare the Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken, begin by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated, and let them rest for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor). Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat and lightly grease it. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown with light grill marks. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil and serve warm with a side of vegetables, brown rice, or a crisp salad.
