Marinade Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 lemons lemon juice juiced
- 1 lemon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
- 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 large chicken breasts (approximately 4 pounds)
Instructions
Marinade Preparation
- Prepare the marinade. Add all ingredients for the marinade to a large shallow mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and mix well to coat in the marinade. Allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to two hours.
- Prepare the grill. Clean grill grates and lightly oil with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Set grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the chicken. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place directly on the grill. Discard remaining marinade. Cover the grill and allow chicken to cook for approximately 5 minutes before reducing heat to medium.
- Allow chicken to cook for an additional 2 minutes, then use tongs to flip each breast over. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes (or longer), or until the thickest part of your chicken registers 160 degrees F with a digital meat thermometer.
- Allow chicken to rest. Remove chicken breasts from the grill and set aside on a clean plate. Tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
