Instructions

Creating delightful Grilled Lemon Chicken is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 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 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: After marinating, take the chicken out of the fridge and discard the marinade.
5. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken if desired, then serve with lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish.

Following these steps ensures that your Grilled Lemon Chicken is both flavorful and juicy, delighting all who taste it!
