Zesty Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken

1In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (2 tablespoons), lemon zest (1 teaspoon), minced garlic (2 cloves), oregano, thyme, paprika (1 teaspoon), salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

2Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.

3Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

4Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

5Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.

6Place the chicken on the grill and 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.

7Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

8Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
