Marinade Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon each of chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and oregano, along with 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mix everything well until it transforms into a fragrant herb marinade.
- Place your 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is generously coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight.
- When you're ready to start grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 375–400°F.
- Carefully remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and take it out of the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken directly onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 6–7 minutes on one side until you see a nice golden crust forming. Flip the chicken over and grill for another 6–7 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Once grilled, carefully remove the chicken from the grill and set it aside on a plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled chicken.
