Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley), chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Vegetables for grilling (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the Grill: Before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill Away: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Toss your selection of chopped veggies with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and grill them alongside the chicken for about 5-6 minutes.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serve with the grilled vegetables and salad.
Notes
For additional flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cayenne pepper to the marinade. Make sure to let the chicken rest to maintain its juiciness.
