Instructions
Creating the perfect Grilled Lemon Chicken is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
3. Refrigerate: Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For maximum flavor, marinate for up to 4 hours.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
5. Remove from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade and allow any excess to drip off.
6. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Rest: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a beautiful presentation.
These steps guarantee flavorful and juicy Grilled Lemon Chicken every time you prepare it.
