Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken

This flavorful Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken is the perfect dish for a weeknight dinner or a gathering with friends. The bright lemon and fresh herbs complement each other beautifully, creating a delicious and refreshing taste sensation.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. In a bowl, combine the juice of two lemons, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the lemon mixture. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

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

  5. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the fresh thyme and rosemary over the chicken.

  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. Garnish with lemon slices and additional herbs, if desired.
