Grilled Chicken Breast with Lemon Herb Marinade

1.In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

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

3.Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes, to allow flavors to infuse.

4.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

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

6.Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

7.Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through with nice grill marks.

8.Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

9.Serve the grilled chicken breasts garnished with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
