Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts skinless

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess.
  4. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the juices run clear; internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  5. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; this will help redistribute juices.
  6. Slice and serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for garnish and an additional lemon wedge on the side, if desired.

Notes

For best results, marinate in the fridge. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Serve with a simple salad or grilled veggies for a complete meal.
