Grilled Chicken with Lemon and Herbs
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish
- Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper
- Prepare the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat
- Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- Garnish and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices if desired.
