Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.8 kg / 4 lbs)
  • 1 cup of fresh lemon juice approximately 240 mL
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • ¼ cup of olive oil approximately 60 mL
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary chopped (approximately 15 mL)
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme chopped (approximately 15 mL)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully covered. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for best results, overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill, and cook for approximately 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Marinating the chicken overnight allows the flavors to infuse more deeply.
Always use fresh herbs over dried ones for better flavor.
Ensure your grill is preheated properly to ensure even cooking.
