This recipe for Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken is a flavorful and healthy dish, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the lemons, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and chopped fresh basil.
For a more intense flavor, zest the lemons before juicing and add the zest to the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor even more.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through without overcooking.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Pair with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
