Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your incredible Grilled Chicken Breasts with Lemon Garlic:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s properly cleaned and greased to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, cooking for 6-7 minutes on one side.
5. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken breasts over and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken breasts against the grain for optimal tenderness.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create an amazing dish that’s sure to impress everyone at your table.
