Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, transfer the Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken to a platter and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
