Creating delicious Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 204°C).
4. Remove Excess Marinade: After marinating, take the chicken out of the fridge. Discard the marinade but allow the chicken to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing the sear to develop.
6. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken over and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain its juiciness.
8. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and serve with optional lemon wedges for added zest.

By following these clear steps, you’ll create a delicious chicken dish that will wow everyone at the table.
