Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

5. 5

   Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

6. 6

   Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve the grilled lemon herb chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
