Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
- 2 lemons (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until it’s well blended.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a Ziplock bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is generously coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
