This Mediterranean-inspired grilled chicken recipe is bursting with fresh flavors and is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the lemon, chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Whisk the marinade ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them.
Massage the bag gently to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Clean the grill grates and oil them lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist and flavorful.
Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
