Boneless chicken breasts marinate in a quick lemon and herb mixture before hitting the grill for a smoky, tender finish. The marinade doubles as a flavor base, keeping the chicken moist while developing light char on the outside. It's a straightforward weeknight dinner that pairs well with vegetables, rice, or a simple salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced for garnish

Method

  2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly.

  3. Cover and refrigerate to marinate, turning once halfway through.

  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and lightly oil the grates.

  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

  6. Grill the chicken breasts for 6 minutes on the first side, until well marked.

  7. Flip and grill for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  8. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh lemon slices.
