Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/3 cup honey

– 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
Creating Honey Lemon Grilled Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This step helps retain its juices.
6. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Following these steps will guide you in creating a flavorful and juicy Honey Lemon Grilled Chicken effortlessly.
