This is the chicken recipe I make when I want something healthy but absolutely delicious. The lemon and herb marinade keeps the chicken incredibly moist, and it takes just minutes to prep. I usually double the batch for easy lunches throughout the week.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate: Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Add chicken, coat well. Marinate 30 min to 4 hours.
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken 6-7 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 165°F.
- Rest: Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
Tips
- Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking.
- Works great on a grill pan if you do not have outdoor grill.
