Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken
Kicking off grilling season always puts me in a sunny mood, and this Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken is my go-to for easy, flavorful dinners. I love how the bright citrus and fresh herbs make it feel special without much fuss—perfect for those weeknights when you want something delicious but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
– Chicken breasts – 4 (about 1.5 lbs total)
– Lemon juice – ¼ cup
– Olive oil – 2 tbsp
– Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
– Fresh rosemary – 1 tbsp, chopped
– Fresh thyme – 1 tbsp, chopped
– Salt – 1 tsp
– Black pepper – ½ tsp
Instructions
1. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
3. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Tip: For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
7. Grill the chicken for 8-10 minutes on the first side, until you see clear grill marks and the edges start to turn opaque. Tip: Avoid moving the chicken too early to get those perfect sear lines.
8. Flip the chicken breasts using tongs.
9. Grill for another 8-10 minutes on the second side. Tip: Check for doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a breast; it should read 165°F.
10. Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean plate.
11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Now, nothing beats that first bite—the chicken is juicy with a tender texture, and the lemon-herb combo gives it a zesty, aromatic flavor that’s light yet satisfying. I often serve it sliced over a fresh salad or alongside grilled veggies for a complete meal that feels effortlessly gourmet.
